Common questions in Shenley
Is Shenley close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Shenley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater in Shenley?
Yes, Shenley is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
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’ll bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Hog roast hire in Shenley, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We are frequently asked to cater community events and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In a hamlet or village like Shenley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evenings in Shenley stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- 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
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Shenley hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Bringing a hog roast to Shenley
Shenley is about 1 mile north of Westcroft, in Milton Keynes. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Shenley. Shenley is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes we cover.
For a fundraiser at a school like Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School (VA), the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. If you had South Loughton Valley park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
Here we cover the MK5, MK8 and MK4 postcode area, and we can cater your event anywhere in it.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
