Is Millbank 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.

Hog roast for events near Millbank
Country shows near Millbank suit a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we’re often booked for country shows and car shows and rallies.
At a field event near Millbank, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. The carving happens right in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an autumn event in Millbank, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner

- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or CT3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch
- Details of what the event requires
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
