Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Crockery choices
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
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Millbank hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evenings in Millbank stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
