A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Millbrook
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Millbrook?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Party venues around Millbrook
Millbrook is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Millbrook, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to 40 places in Southampton.
Parks such as St James' Park usually need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Within reach of Millbrook are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.2 miles south-east) and Medieval Merchant's House (2.3 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Millbrook, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cater parties across SO15 and SO16 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Mill Road, Mendip Road and Severn Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater parties in Regents Park (1 mile north-east), Shirley (1 mile north-east), Freemantle (1 mile east), Maybush (1 mile north) and Redbridge (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (5 miles east) and Itchen (4 miles east).

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Millbrook is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests
