Slow-roasted pork in Milton
Party hog roast in Milton, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. For garden parties and leaving and retirement do’s, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
For a party in Milton, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Milton hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Parties in Milton: homes, halls and local tips
Milton is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Milton and the surrounding area are covered for parties. Milton is one of 19 places in Portsmouth we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Milton to Southampton (17 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St James, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. No room at home? A club or hall near Milton with outdoor space often works. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover parties in every part of the PO4, PO3 and PO1 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Liss Road, Meon Road and Aston Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Milton we cover include Kingston (1 mile north-west), Fratton (1 mile north-west), Southsea (1 mile south-west), Baffins (1 mile north) and Copnor (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in Wymering (4 miles north), Paulsgrove (4 miles north), Cosham (3 miles north), Drayton (4 miles north) and Farlington (4 miles north).
Well-known places in the area include St. Mary's Hospital (under half a mile north-west) and The Bridge Shopping Centre (0.9 miles west). Open spaces near Milton include Portsdown Hill and Milton Locks.
- Schools near Milton include Mary Rose School (within half a mile south-east) and St Edmund's Catholic School (1.2 miles west)

Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:

Send us the date, the address or PO4 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. A summer party in Milton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Questions from Milton
What’s the nearest station to Milton?
Fratton station, about 0.6 miles west of the centre.
Is Milton close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
