Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Which station is closest to Mill Hill?
Walmer station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you come to Mill Hill?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you sell directly to visitors?

Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
