How our wedding hog roast works in Mildmay
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. For relaxed, low-key weddings and garden weddings at home, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
For a wedding in Mildmay, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Mildmay questions
Which station is closest to Mildmay?
Dalston Kingsland station, in Mildmay itself.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Jude and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you cover Mildmay?
Yes, Mildmay is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How long does the roast need?
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.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
