About our party hog roast in Marshborough
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We’re frequently asked to cater big family get-togethers and garden parties, serving crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
In a small place like Marshborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT13 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
