Your questions about a hog roast day in Ashendon
Which station is closest to Ashendon?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Ashendon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What about texture-modified diets?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, the light in Ashendon goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

How we price a hog roast day
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
We clear away quietly.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
