Hog roast for events in Broughton
Hog roast for events in Broughton, carved to order
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Broughton attract visitors. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest how it could work. Typical bookings include vintage rallies and church and village fêtes, serving rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.
At a fête or show near Broughton, we can cook in a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Where the roaster can go in Broughton

- A firm way on and off the field

The process

Preparing for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
