Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Hog roast hire in Broomhill, slow-roasted on site
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 Broomhill. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. We are often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and sports clubs and societies, serving hog roast rolls, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Broomhill, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Common questions in Broomhill
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Broomhill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you cover Broomhill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Broomhill and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Do we need a big space?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
For event organisers in Broomhill
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Broomhill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
