For a Christmas party near Shenley, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast compared with other options
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite

We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.

Shenley is about 1 mile north of Westcroft, in Milton Keynes. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Shenley and the surrounding area. We cover all 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes, from the larger towns to small villages.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School (VA), suit a hog roast. Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
For Christmas parties in MK5, MK8 and MK4, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Vache Lane, Oakhill Road and Wisewood Road, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

We also serve nearby towns such as Bletchley (3 miles south-east), Newport Pagnell (6 miles north-east), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (4 miles south-east), Middleton (4 miles north-east), Fenny Stratford (4 miles east) and Olney (11 miles north).
