How our wedding hog roast works in Coggins Mill
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are frequently asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
There is something special about a country wedding near Coggins Mill, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Coggins Mill: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Dunstan?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Coggins Mill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
