Broad Oak questions
Do you come out to small places like Broad Oak?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Broad Oak close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do soft food?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we will work alongside your kitchen.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In summer, Broad Oak has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Someone to meet us
