Wedding hog roast in Windmill Hill, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is evening receptions and vow renewals and blessings, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a smaller place like Windmill Hill, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Windmill Hill, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church Milton?

Is mains power needed?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
