About our hog roast for events in Milton
Every event handles food differently: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Let us know what you have in mind. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and vintage rallies.
At a field event near Milton, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a burger van, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. For an autumn event in Milton, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price

- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about

FAQs for Milton
What’s the nearest station to Milton?
Appleford station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about visitors who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you do fêtes?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
