Party hog roast in Broadford, carved to order
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We serve jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement celebrations and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Broadford, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. 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.
FAQs for Broadford
Can you do a hog roast in Shalford Mill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Perfect for your party in Broadford
One roast feeds everyone together, instead of food in dribs and drabs.
However big or small the event in Broadford, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings often include:
- Garden parties
- Big family get-togethers
- Christenings and naming days
- Street parties
A green space like Shalford Mill is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

- Whether plates or china are included
- The space, cover and access they need
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our prices page or the cost guide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Site access
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
