About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Ascot, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Questions from Ascot
Is Ascot too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us who does not eat pork
We set up under cover in the grounds, following your sign-in and safety rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
