For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Wedding hog roast in Willesborough, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts with sides and evening food after the first dance.
In Willesborough, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
