How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a staff lunch in Whaddon, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Milton Keynes Central station, about 3.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Whaddon close to London?

What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
