Aston questions
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Aston too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What allergens are in the food?
Allergen details are provided.
Can visitors eat too?
Many homes make it a family day.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some residents will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Aston, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact on the day
- Approval from the home
- A level spot in the garden or car park
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
For residents who need modified textures, your kitchen looks after those portions. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
