How our wedding hog roast works in Boarhunt

Questions from Boarhunt
Is Boarhunt close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Boarhunt too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Golden-hour photos in Boarhunt at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
