How our hog roast hire works in Milton Street
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We are often asked to cater christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like Milton Street, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Milton Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day

- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

How we price a hog roast
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Common questions in Milton Street
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary and St Peter's Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
