Our hog roast service in Broadstairs
Broadstairs is the quieter of the Thanet towns, built around the curve of Viking Bay with a string of chalk-cliff beaches running north to Joss Bay and Botany Bay. Charles Dickens spent many summers here, and the town still celebrates the connection, while its annual folk festival fills the streets each August.
It's a place for family occasions, and a hog roast suits it well. We cook on site and carve to order, bring every side and sauce, and look after the counter all the way through so you can enjoy the party.
We cater across Broadstairs as part of our hog roast catering in Kent. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Broadstairs
Most of our Broadstairs events are private: garden parties in the residential streets back from the seafront, birthdays and anniversaries in Kingsgate and St Peter's, and summer gatherings for families who have been coming to the town for generations. Community groups, schools and clubs add fetes and fundraisers, and inland Thanet's farmland offers space for marquees and bigger parties.
The streets close to Viking Bay are narrow and very busy in high summer and during festival weeks. We'll plan an early arrival and a loading point, and let you know if we need a parking space reserved.
- private gardens in St Peter's and Kingsgate

BBQ catering in Broadstairs
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Broadstairs gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.
For beach-town summer parties with children and grandparents together, a BBQ with burgers, sausages and chicken alongside a hog roast gives everyone something they'll enjoy.

Milestone birthday catering · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Our pork is slow-roasted whole on site and hand-carved at the counter as guests come up. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are the favourite; a plated buffet works well when it's the main meal.
Hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.
