Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About our hog roast hire in Broad Oak
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Broad Oak. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. We’re frequently asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and staff days and open days, serving coleslaw, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Broad Oak, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How we price a hog roast
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast in Broad Oak
Can you cater after a service at Ebenezer Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Broad Oak?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you come to Broad Oak?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Broad Oak and East Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Planning an evening hog roast in Broad Oak? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

- We clear up and go.
How to prepare

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
