DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
As a London location, Mill Meads is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

After a christening at a church like St Mary's Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. A green space like Bob's Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

Mill Meads questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Mill Meads?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you come to Mill Meads?
Yes, Mill Meads is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
