About hog roast hire in MK5
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and corporate events.
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you will pay
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- An itemised quote
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

A hog roast across MK5: what to know
MK5 covers everything from Westcroft, Shenley Church End and Loughton 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.
Shenley Church End: Historic houses near Shenley Church End include Bletchley Park (2.6 miles south-east) and Linford Manor (3.7 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. If you had South Loughton Valley park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. Light matters for a long roast: around Shenley Church End, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Parking near the spot
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Whether travel is included

- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
