About our party hog roast in Broughton
For a christening or naming day in Broughton, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. We are often asked to cater garden parties and family reunions, with coleslaw, apple sauce and crackling.
In a small place like Broughton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Broughton stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Broughton
Is Broughton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Broughton?
The closest is Banbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where the roaster can go in Broughton
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A heads-up for next door
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
