Book a hog roast in Broomhill
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Broomhill
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Broomhill, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for festive open evenings and year-end thank-yous.
Near Broomhill, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
Send us the date, the address or CT3 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Questions from Broomhill
Do you come out to small places like Broomhill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Broomhill close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Broomhill
It’s a change from turkey and all the trimmings in a restaurant.
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Broomhill and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings

Why choose a hog roast in Broomhill?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See how we price and what a hog roast costs.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Broomhill in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
