How hog roast hire works in MK9
In MK9, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We’re frequently asked to cater parties at home and weddings and receptions, with crackling, new potatoes and salads.
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What it costs in MK9
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Planning a hog roast in MK9
MK9 covers everything from Loughton to 0 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.
Loughton: Thinking of a hog roast in South Loughton Valley park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. For anyone arriving by rail, there is a station right in Loughton: Milton Keynes Central station. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Loughton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

For event organisers in MK9
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two.
Comparing caterers
- A clear list of what’s included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Plates, china and cutlery
- Whether VAT is included
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
