About our party hog roast in Broomfield
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Broomfield, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes, and we are often booked for engagement parties and naming ceremonies.

How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Common questions in Broomfield
How far is Broomfield from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
