Broad Oak questions
What’s the nearest station to Broad Oak?
Winchfield station, about 1.8 miles north of the centre.
Is Broad Oak too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Towns and villages near Broad Oak
What else we do in Broad Oak
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 4:00pm in late December, Broad Oak is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately

Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
