How hog roast hire works in MK15
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is hog roast hire in MK15. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and weddings and receptions, with crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you will pay
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in MK15
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:

- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Access for our equipment, without steps
Common questions in MK15
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
