A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Common questions in Broadstone
What’s the nearest station to Broadstone?
Lenham station, about 2.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Someone to meet us at reception
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
