How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, it is dark in Broad Oak by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.

Common questions in Broad Oak
How far is Broad Oak from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Broad Oak?
Stonegate station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Do you come to Broad Oak?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Broad Oak and East Sussex. Send us the address for a quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Vehicle access close by
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
