Wedding hog roast in Milebush, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Milebush, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Milebush
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Milebush weddings: local tips
Milebush is about 6 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. Milebush and the surrounding area are covered for weddings. Milebush is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Milebush to Canterbury (about 26 miles away).
If you’re marrying at a church near Milebush, such as St Michael and All Angels Church, and holding the reception nearby, the hog roast can be cooking while you say your vows. The High Weald National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Milebush, with plenty of rural wedding settings. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook.
For weddings in TN12, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. That could mean a wedding in a garden on Maidstone Road and Milebush Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include St Ann's Green (1 mile east), Underling Green (1 mile north-east), Wanshurst Green (1 mile south-east), Cross-at-Hand (2 miles east) and Marden Thorn (2 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Maidstone (6 miles north), Sittingbourne (15 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (15 miles north-west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (11 miles west), Tonbridge (10 miles west) and Kings Hill (7 miles north-west).
A little further out are Sutton Valence Castle (4.2 miles north-east) and Oakwood Hospital (5.7 miles north).
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Milebush, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

What affects the price in Milebush
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- Site access
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Milebush questions
Can you cater after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Milebush from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
