At Willsher’s Whole Hog, we believe great food starts with great meat — and that’s something we know a thing or two about. As the team behind A Willsher & Son, your trusted local butcher in Marks Tey, Colchester, we’ve spent years sourcing top-quality, locally reared meat for our community. Now, we’re taking that same passion and expertise on the road with our hog roast service.

Whether it’s a birthday, wedding or just an excuse to get everyone together, our hog roasts bring people around the table with slow-cooked, tender pork and crispy crackling that’s hard to beat. And if hog roast isn’t quite what you’re after, we also offer a range of BBQ packages — from juicy burgers and handmade sausages to marinated chicken and steak, all straight from our butcher’s counter.

We handle everything — from setting up and cooking to carving and serving — so you can relax and enjoy the day. Using only the best cuts from our shop, we guarantee flavour, quality and a proper feast your guests will love.

Good food, good company, no fuss — that’s what we’re all about.
