Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
How it works

Little Mill: your questions answered
Is Little Mill close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Little Mill 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 trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Little Mill hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

- Sides to make it a full meal
