Hog roast hire in Oakgrove, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for corporate events and village fêtes and school fairs.
In and around Oakgrove, gardens and village halls are common choices. If the lane is narrow, tell us so we can plan our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Questions from Oakgrove
Can you do a hog roast in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at The Woolstones Community Centre: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you travel across Milton Keynes?
We cater across Milton Keynes. Get in touch for a price.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
