Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card

- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Wedding hog roast in Borden, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. We serve salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Borden frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Borden questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Borden 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 cater in Borden?
Yes, Borden is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Winter weddings in Borden are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
