Book a hog roast in Broxhill
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Broxhill
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Broxhill: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include corporate events and sports clubs and societies, serving spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a rural spot like Broxhill, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- A picture of the cooking area

- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Broxhill questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Broxhill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Planning an evening hog roast in Broxhill? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
