Our hog roast hire in MK7
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for village fêtes and school fairs and gatherings after a funeral.
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.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Hog roast catering in MK7: local guide
Across MK7, we cover 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so whether your event is in Middleton, Fenny Stratford and Kingston or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Walton: Historic houses near Walton include Bletchley Park (2.2 miles south-west) and Linford Manor (4.6 miles north-west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. PTAs at schools such as Heronsgate School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. By late September, sunset in Walton is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
