Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.

Is Great Milton 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.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
