Slow-roasted pork in Southborough
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Wedding hog roast near Southborough
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. For barn and farm weddings and home weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
In Southborough, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or TN4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Southborough, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests

Questions from Southborough
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to other evening food, carving serves plenty of people fast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Space, access and the venue

- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
