Our hog roast hire in MK6
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We are often asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and garden parties and barbecues, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

Woolstone’s nearest station is Milton Keynes Central station, roughly 2.2 miles west of the centre.

Planning a hog roast in MK6
MK6 covers everything from Oakgrove, Woolstone and Woughton on the Green to 3 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Woolstone: Coming by train? Milton Keynes Central station is about 2.2 miles away. If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Shepherdswell Academy, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. In Woolstone, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we are on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Access for our equipment, without steps
MK6 questions
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
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.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
