What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Evenings in Broadford stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.

Hog roast hire in Broadford, slow-roasted on site
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Broadford. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. For weddings and receptions and big birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and crackling for your guests.
In a small place like Broadford, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
