Questions from Broadford
Could you cook in Shalford Mill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Broadford?
Shalford station, in Broadford itself.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Broadford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Some staff won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
