About our hog roast hire in Milebush
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Milebush, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties.
Somewhere like Milebush, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Milebush hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Timed around your day

Common questions in Milebush
What’s the nearest station to Milebush?
Marden station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
