Common questions in Milton
What’s the nearest station to Milton?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Is Milton close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Where will the roaster go?
Outdoors under cover, on a level spot clear of emergency access and away from opening windows.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
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.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
