Mill Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Mill Hill?
The closest is Walmer station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Mill Hill?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Corporate hog roast in Mill Hill, slow-roasted on site
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. For team treats and staff summer days, we can cook crackling, salads and halloumi skewers for your staff.
For businesses around Mill Hill, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. If your staff event in Mill Hill runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Staff days in Mill Hill: access and travel
Mill Hill is about 1 mile west of Deal, in Kent. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Mill Hill and the surrounding area. Mill Hill is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
For staff and visitors coming by train, Walmer station, about 0.7 miles south-east, is the nearest station. Central London is about 67 miles from Mill Hill, and we cover it as standard. The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Staff events anywhere in CT14 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. From Mary Road, Glack Road and Lydia Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. For staff events just outside Mill Hill, we cover Great Mongeham (1 mile west), Deal (1 mile east), Sholden (1 mile north), Sholden Meadows (1 mile north) and Walmer (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (14 miles west), Margate (12 miles north), Dover (6 miles south-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-west), Ramsgate (9 miles north) and Broadstairs (11 miles north).

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? 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 is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
