Slow-roasted pork in Millbrook
How our wedding hog roast works in Millbrook
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. We serve spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater evening receptions and anniversary vow renewals.
In Millbrook, 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Millbrook, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Millbrook
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
