About our party hog roast in Mill Lane
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement do’s and christenings and naming days.
Country parties near Mill Lane suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Step by step
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. For an evening party in Mill Lane, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

FAQs for Mill Lane
Can you cater after a service at Old Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Mill Lane?
The closest is Winchfield station, roughly 3 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cover Mill Lane?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
