How our wedding hog roast works in Boars Hill
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and small, informal weddings, with halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Boars Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

DIY versus a catered hog roast
