What affects the price in Old Wolverton

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Old Wolverton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Old Wolverton questions
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Old Wolverton?
The closest is Wolverton station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you cover Old Wolverton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Old Wolverton and the rest of Milton Keynes included. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
