About our wedding hog roast in Borough Green
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee and rustic barn receptions.
In Borough Green, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer wedding in Borough Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
