How hog roast hire works in MK18
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for summer garden parties and milestone birthdays.
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Planning a hog roast in MK18
There are 3 towns and 26 villages and hamlets in MK18, so the setting can be anything from Buckingham, Winslow and Steeple Claydon to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Buckingham: Historic houses near Buckingham include Stowe House (2.8 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. PTAs at schools such as George Grenville Academy often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Late September evenings in Buckingham lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it.
Questions to ask before booking
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Who carves and who serves
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- The space, cover and access they need
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
FAQs for MK18
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
