Doleham station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Broad Oak is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
