Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Aspley Guise parties: what to know
Aspley Guise is about 5 miles east of Bletchley, in Milton Keynes. We cater parties across Aspley Guise and nearby. Aspley Guise is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Aspley Guise to Milton Keynes (6 miles away).

Within reach of Aspley Guise are historic houses such as Woburn Abbey (2.5 miles south-east) and Bletchley Park (4.7 miles west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.

Streets in the area include The Square, Wood Lane and The Mount, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Aspley Guise is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

FAQs for Aspley Guise
Is Aspley Guise too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Botolph?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do you come to Aspley Guise?
Yes, Aspley Guise is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
