Is Ascott d'Oyley 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.

Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
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.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
