Planning a party in Broomfield
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. A hog roast suits parties around Broomfield, whatever the venue. We cater 922 places in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 6 miles away.
If you had Curtis Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. A christening at Church of St Bartholomew followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
Wherever your party is in CT6, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Barley Close, The Meadows and Ladyfields or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in Broomfield need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
