Your questions about a hog roast day in Mill End
How far is Mill End from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Mill End?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 2.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you carve thinly?
Plates are frequently easier for residents.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cater in Mill End?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a plated hot meal suits residents better. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Mill End hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
