Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Share the allergen information with the team
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Millbrook: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Millbrook?
The closest is Millbrook (Hants) station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will confirm how booking and payment work.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site

- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Open days in Millbrook normally finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.

Getting ready for the day
