Common questions in Micheldever Station
Is Micheldever Station too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Micheldever Station?
The closest is Overton station, roughly 5 miles away.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll 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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who does not eat pork
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In December, it’s dark in Micheldever Station by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
