Party hog roast in Little Mill, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and naming ceremonies, with rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Country parties near Little Mill suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
