Party hog roast in Broxhill, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We serve rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for big family get-togethers and getting-engaged parties.
A country party near Broxhill is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Broxhill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Broxhill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
How far ahead 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’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.

A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Broxhill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:05pm, need lights by the roaster.
