How our wedding hog roast works in Milford
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. For evening receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork and more.
In Milford, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Milford are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

Common questions in Milford
How far is Milford from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Rodborough Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
For event organisers in Milford
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
