Questions from Loughton
Which station is closest to Loughton?
Milton Keynes Central station, in Loughton itself.
Is Loughton close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Loughton
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Loughton. We are frequently asked to cater christmas markets and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Around Loughton, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning a Christmas party in Loughton
Loughton is about 1 mile south-west of Milton Keynes, in Milton Keynes. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Loughton, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Loughton is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes where we cater.
A winter fair at a school like Loughton Manor First School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as All Saints Church can book a hog roast stall.
For Christmas parties in MK5, MK9 and MK8, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Leys Road, Lucy Lane and Church Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Loughton is on the A5, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. For Christmas parties just outside Loughton, we cover Milton Keynes (1 mile north-east), Shenley Church End (1 mile south-west), Bradwell Abbey (1 mile north-west), Bradwell (1 mile north) and Bradville (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Bletchley (3 miles south-east), Newport Pagnell (4 miles north-east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (4 miles south-east), Middleton (3 miles east), Fenny Stratford (4 miles south-east) and Olney (9 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Bradwell Motte (1.1 miles north) and Badminton Museum (under half a mile north-west). Within reach you will find Blue Lagoon Park and Lodge Lake.
- Local schools include Denbigh School (0.7 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Kensington pub (0.8 miles west)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What affects the price in Loughton
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Loughton in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
