About our wedding hog roast in Broomfield
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. For evening receptions and rustic barn receptions, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Broomfield, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What else we do in Broomfield
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Broomfield: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Broomfield?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you cater in Broomfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Broomfield and the rest of Kent included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
For event organisers in Broomfield
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Broomfield hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A clear quote with everything listed

- Timed around your day
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter weddings in Broomfield are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us your date, venue and 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.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
