Party hog roast in Broomhill
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
About our party hog roast in Broomhill
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater neighbourhood parties and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Broomhill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. 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.

About 59 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Broomhill?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For an evening party in Broomhill, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
