In Broomfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

How our wedding hog roast works in Broomfield
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Broomfield suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and rustic barn receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Broomfield often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
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 typically easier.
