Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Where the roaster can go in Broad Oak
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Light by the serving table
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Broad Oak: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Broad Oak?
Doleham station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What happens if it’s dark?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Do you come to Broad Oak?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Broad Oak and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
