Common questions in Milton Common
How far is Milton Common from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Milton Common too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Christmas hog roast in Milton Common, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Milton Common, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. For winter open days and office Christmas parties, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling.
In winter near Milton Common, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. A lunchtime Christmas party in Milton Common is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Milton Common
Here’s what affects the price:

Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
