Hog roast hire in Brookwood, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and festive gatherings.
Somewhere as small as Brookwood, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Brookwood questions
Do you come out to small places like Brookwood?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Brookwood?
Brookwood station, in Brookwood itself.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Who books hog roast hire in Brookwood?
You do not need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. Everything else comes with us.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:
- Summer garden parties
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Christmas parties
- Corporate events
If you had Brookwood Lye in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Brookwood until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
How to get a price

Planning help
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
