Families holding a service at The Parish Church of St Mary often gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the roast can be ready. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Broomershill, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Late-December sunset in Broomershill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We reply quickly with a price.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Broomershill questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Is there a non-pork option?

Can you be flexible on serving time?

What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Just the venue, rough numbers and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
