FAQs for Milton Street
Can you roast near the sea around Milton Street?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
How quickly can you cater a wake?
Normally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if the service runs late?
That is fine: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In winter, it is dark in Milton Street by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting by the food. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Fresh carving at the serving station

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork
We clear away discreetly once everyone has eaten.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wake is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A safe distance from the hall
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
