Book a hog roast in Broadland Row
Wedding hog roast near Broadland Row
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. We are frequently asked to cater the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance, with salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Broadland Row, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
FAQs for Broadland Row
What’s the nearest station to Broadland Row?
Doleham station, about 1.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you cover Broadland Row?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
