What affects the price in Broomfield
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

- A firm way on and off the field
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, particularly in wet weather.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In late May, sunset in Broomfield is about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Broomfield: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Broomfield?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Do you come out to small places like Broomfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you trade at school events?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with cold food stalls, hot food is popular in any season. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
