Hog roast for events in Millbrook, slow-roasted on site

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. At midsummer, events in Millbrook stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
