About our hog roast for events in Broadgate
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce, and we are often booked for small festivals and town and village days.
Rural events near Broadgate can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
