Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Why choose a hog roast in Broad Street?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
