Should I cook it myself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Where the roaster can go in Broom Hill
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
Broom Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Broom Hill is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.

- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
