About our party hog roast in Broad Oak
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for engagement celebrations and family reunions.
In a small place like Broad Oak, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Broad Oak
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Parking close to the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Broad Oak questions
We are gathering after a service at Ebenezer Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Broad Oak?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
