Hog roast hire for your event in Broughton
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. We serve coleslaw, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and staff days and open days.
Somewhere like Broughton, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
