FAQs for Broadford
Is Broadford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Shalford Mill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
