Hog roast for events in Milton Keynes: what to expect

Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for summer fêtes and community days and street fairs.

On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time.

Start with the date and numbers.
We agree how food will be paid for.
We arrive and set up under cover.

Landmarks near Milton Keynes

You’ll find our roaster at events near South Loughton Valley park, Summerfield School and The Countryman pub and the streets around them. Nearby too are Church of Christ the Cornerstone (within half a mile north-east) and St Paul's Catholic School (1 mile south-east). Milton Keynes has its own railway station: Milton Keynes Central station. Well-known places in the area include Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre (0.7 miles north-east) and Badminton Museum (0.7 miles west). The countryside around Milton Keynes includes Blue Lagoon Park and Lodge Lake.

Community events across Milton Keynes

Rural events in Milton Keynes often need traders who bring everything with them, and town events in Bletchley, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley and Fenny Stratford need quick service for bigger crowds. We cook on gas and carve fast, so we can do both.

Milton Keynes: If your event is in South Loughton Valley park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of Christ the Cornerstone, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Milton Keynes are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.

About the food

Stuffing and apple sauce

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Looking after everyone

Some visitors will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

Put the menu and allergen information on display
Balance the food line-up
Plan separately for halal if needed
Tell us what the event asks of traders

We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.

If your event has a theme, tell us.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

The landowner’s or council’s agreement
A level pitch
Clearance from other stalls and tents

Full catering or machine hire?

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Milton Keynes questions

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Who serves?

No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

How soon do you get booked up?

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Can you work around our timings?

Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

What space does the roaster need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.

Can visitors buy their own food?

Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.

What about coeliacs?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
