Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Water Eaton
We’re gathering after a service at Water Eaton Church Centre: 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 will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Water Eaton?
The closest is Bletchley station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
