Broad Oak questions
Can you roast near the sea around Broad Oak?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Broad Oak from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter weddings in Broad Oak are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.
Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Broad Oak hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved to order by a chef
- Our staff serve and clear

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
