Hog roast for events near Millbridge

The process

- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

Common questions in Millbridge
Could you cook in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Millbridge from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Do you trade at school events?
Yes, if the school agrees. Tell us the date and pitch.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some visitors won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
