About our hog roast for events in Broadford

Why book with us

- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
