How our party hog roast works in Milford
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll check it with you. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and milestone birthdays, with apple sauce, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a place like Milford, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A summer party in Milford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.

Milford parties: what to know
Milford is about 6 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Hosts in Milford book us for parties of all sizes. Milford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 6 miles away.
A christening at St John the Evangelist's Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Among the historic houses close to Milford are Loseley Park (3.5 miles north-east) and Wanborough Manor (4.2 miles north). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Milford questions
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Milford?
The closest is Milford (Surrey) station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
