How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In December, Lathbury is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Balance the food line-up
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you contact us, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or MK16 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A queuing area
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
