Areas we cover
Hog roast hire across MK16
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We are frequently asked to cater clubhouse events and weddings and receptions, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Cost
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Planned to your running order

Hog roast hire across MK16
MK16 covers everything from Newport Pagnell, Broughton and Willen to 11 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Newport Pagnell: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Bede (Roman Catholic), the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. For a fundraiser at a school like Cedars Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Evenings in Newport Pagnell stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

MK16: your questions answered
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
