What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Common questions in Broadstone
How far is Broadstone from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Broadstone?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

Before booking anyone
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- Who carves and who serves
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
