A hog roast near Milland
Hog roast for events in Milland, slow-roasted on site
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast, served as people finish. We’re frequently asked to cater school events and car and steam shows, with apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a field event near Milland, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- All the equipment comes with us

Read our prices page or the cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A firm way on and off the field
- A level pitch with firm ground
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Milland: your questions answered
Is Milland close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Milland?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is it pay as you go?
It depends on how your event works. Tell us what you have in mind and we will discuss the options.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. A supply is useful for lights.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
