Wedding hog roast in Milton Street, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater home weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
A wedding in a small place like Milton Street often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

Milton Street questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Milton Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
