Hog roast hire in MK14: what to expect
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in MK14, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are frequently asked to cater village fêtes and school fairs and festive gatherings, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

Hog roast catering in MK14: local guide
MK14 covers everything from Bradville, Great Linford and Tongwell to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Great Linford: Historic houses near Great Linford include Linford Manor (less than half a mile north-east) and Bletchley Park (4.9 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Wolverton station, about 1.7 miles west. In Great Linford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
What your quote should include
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Plates, china and cutlery
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or MK14 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
MK14: your questions answered
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can you cater in MK14?
Yes, MK14 is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do we need a big space?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
