How our party hog roast works in Tongwell
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. For engagement celebrations and christenings and naming days, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Tongwell, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For event organisers in Tongwell
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Tongwell, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.

- We set up early and get the hog roasting.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve

Planning a party in Tongwell
Tongwell is about 1 mile south of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. Hosts in Tongwell book us for parties of all sizes. Tongwell is one of 73 places in Milton Keynes where we cater.
Guests arriving by train should know that Milton Keynes Central station, about 3 miles south-west, is the nearest station. Thinking of a hog roast in Campbell Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, usually the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it.
Anywhere in MK15, MK14 and MK16, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a party in a garden on Maryland Road, Hooper Gate and Redvers Gate, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Caldecote (1 mile north-east), Willen (1 mile south-east), Newport Pagnell (1 mile north), Great Linford (1 mile west) and Woolstone (2 miles south).

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
