How our hog roast hire works in Middlegreen
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and corporate events.
For a rural spot like Middlegreen, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

FAQs for Middlegreen
Which station is closest to Middlegreen?
The closest is Langley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary the Virgin Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Is mains power needed?

What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Organising for someone else?

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evenings in Middlegreen stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
