Wedding hog roast for Milton

Wedding hog roast near Milton

After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is late-night wedding food and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.

In Milton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Our full booking checklist

Catered or do it yourself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

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.

What we serve, dish by dish

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.

Roast pork

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

Milton questions

Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?

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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Which station is closest to Milton?

Fratton station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.

Do you clear up?

We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?

Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.

How much will it be?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.

Where will the roaster go at our wedding?

Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

Will our venue allow a hog roast?

Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.

Do you bring plates?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why us?

  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • Served at the time you choose
  • Choices for people who do not eat pork
  • Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Planning for dietary needs

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
  • If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
  • Share the menu with your venue coordinator

We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.

Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.

How it works

When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Milton, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

  1. Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
  3. The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
  4. We set up and roast for hours.
  5. We carve and serve, then clear away.

  • Let us know about tight access
