How our party hog roast works in Broadstairs
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Typical bookings include christenings and retirement parties, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Broadstairs frequently happen at home or in a local hall. A hog roast suits both, as long as there is space outside. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
