FAQs for Brookgreen
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A way in for the roaster
For somewhere as remote as Brookgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- New potatoes
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken

- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast or jacket potatoes

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Brookgreen, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:05pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests
