Wedding hog roast in Boxford
Wedding hog roast in Boxford, slow-roasted on site
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. Popular choices include salads, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater evening receptions and garden weddings at home.
A wedding in a small place like Boxford 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. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Boxford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Boxford?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
