Questions from Millbank
What if our house in Millbank has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in St James's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add alternatives.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
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.
Can you cater at home?
At home, a hall, a club or a venue, given an outdoor cooking area.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

Planners, venues and businesses

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Millbank hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
