Milton is about 52 miles from central London. Within reach of Milton are historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (4.3 miles north-east). If you’re shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property.

Anywhere in OX14 and OX11, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include High Street, School Lane and Willow Lane, and a shoot on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Milton
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Milton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We work to your schedule.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Next to deliveries, we are already there when lunch is called. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why Milton hosts choose us

- Fresh carving at the serving station

- A level area at base
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce

- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
