FAQs for Mill Lane
Is Mill Lane 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.
Which station is closest to Mill Lane?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 3 miles away.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
