FAQs for Little Milton
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is there an alternative to pork?
We can add alternatives.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

What affects the price in Little Milton

- The journey to the venue

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the alternatives labelled

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
