If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Wedding hog roast near Boarshead
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Boarshead. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Popular choices include crackling, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater home weddings and anniversary vow renewals.
Near Boarshead, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Common questions in Boarshead
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Boarshead 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.
Do you come to Boarshead?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Boarshead, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

- Planned to your running order
