Wedding hog roast in Milland, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We serve carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for late-night wedding food and farm weddings.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

- An estimate of numbers

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Milland, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Questions from Milland
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Milland close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
