Salden: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Salden?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you travel across Milton Keynes?
Milton Keynes is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Salden, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, 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.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
