Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What else we do in Milton Keynes
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Common questions in Milton Keynes
Could you cook in South Loughton Valley park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Christ the Cornerstone?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Yes, add chicken or a vegetarian option.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is a week’s notice enough?
We do our best at short notice. Tell us the details for a quick answer.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Autumn and winter afternoons in Milton Keynes get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Getting a price
Every wake is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote: use our quote form.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Check with family about dietary needs
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
