Party hog roast in Westborough, slow-roasted on site
For a christening or naming day in Westborough, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. We’re frequently asked to cater engagement parties and christenings, serving coleslaw, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Around Westborough, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Westborough stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
