Wedding hog roast near Westborough
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Westborough. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For wedding breakfasts and intimate weddings, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
In Westborough, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Westborough, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

FAQs for Westborough
What’s the nearest station to Westborough?
Guildford station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Francis Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
