Slow-roasted pork in Milebush
Party hog roast in Milebush, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For reunions and engagement celebrations, we can cook coleslaw, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Country parties near Milebush suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Milebush
What’s the nearest station to Milebush?
Marden station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
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 confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- Dietary requirements
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
