Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Broadwater: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Broadwater?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you wait?
That’s fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Is there an alternative to pork?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
