How our wedding hog roast works in Boorley Green
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and rustic barn receptions, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling.
For a smaller place like Boorley Green, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

For event organisers in Boorley Green
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

Boorley Green questions
Which station is closest to Boorley Green?
Hedge End station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Is Boorley Green close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Boorley Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
