Questions from Mill Corner
What’s the nearest station to Mill Corner?
Doleham station, about 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Mill Corner?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your care home event for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Count families and staff too
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.

- Crockery choices

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, the light in Mill Corner goes at about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.

- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
