A hog roast near Broadford
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Broadford
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it is office Christmas parties and festive family get-togethers, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Near Broadford, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

What else we do in Broadford
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Broadford
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in Broadford comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
