For event organisers in Broadfield
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
About our care home hog roast in Broadfield
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, well away from ambulance routes and away from opening windows. Popular choices include roast potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for day centre lunches and thank-you meals for staff.
Around Broadfield, homes frequently have a garden and drive. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late May, sunset in Broadfield is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
