How our Christmas hog roast works in Broomfield
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Broomfield, from small teams to big crowds. For christmas fairs and lights switch-on evenings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Broomfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A lit route to the food
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
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.
