Wedding hog roast for Broom Hill
How our wedding hog roast works in Broom Hill
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and evening receptions, serving crackling, new potatoes and salads.
London weddings around Broom Hill frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Common questions in Broom Hill
What if our house in Broom Hill has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Broom Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book our hog roast in Broom Hill
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- We bring everything to cook and serve
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
