About our hog roast for events in Milford
Agricultural shows and country events near Milford are a natural home for a hog roast, with fields, crowds and long days. For school events and car and steam shows, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In Milford, one popular trader keeps it simple. A hog roast does that. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Make the stall easy to find
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

What else we do in Milford
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
