Questions from Micheldever
Which station is closest to Micheldever?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Hog roast hire in Micheldever, slow-roasted on site
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater parties at home and staff days and open days, with coleslaw, salads and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Micheldever, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
