Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Milford
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Milford
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Popular choices include salads, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater site openings and end-of-project celebrations.
Around Milford, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Someone to meet us at reception
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
What else we do in Milford
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening staff events in Milford need light after sunset: about 9:20pm in June, 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
