- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How our hog roast hire works in Milford
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include parties at home and wakes, with crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.
In a smaller place like Milford, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which often makes it better value. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Milford hosts choose us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
For event organisers in Milford
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Milford, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
