How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Broad Oak, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
