Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Mursley
What’s the nearest station to Mursley?
Bletchley station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Mursley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you come to Mursley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Mursley and the rest of Milton Keynes included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Do you go to remote locations?
Normally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from kit
- Approval from locations
- A level area at base

Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
