How our wedding hog roast works in Aldborough Hatch
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Aldborough Hatch suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We are frequently asked to cater the main wedding meal and second-day get-togethers, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Aldborough Hatch often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
