Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Mill Hill
Can you roast near the sea around Mill Hill?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Mill Hill?
Walmer station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
What if it rains?
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.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Indoor space for eating
- Clearance from walls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
