Southborough: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St Augustine's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Wedding hog roast in Southborough, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We are often asked to cater blessings and renewals and intimate weddings, serving salads, crackling and new potatoes.
Couples in Southborough often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues can’t offer, so ask early. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Southborough, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices

- Menu choices and extras
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
