Common questions in Ardley
Is Ardley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Ardley from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information in advance
We pack up whatever the weather.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station for a festive feel.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A short route for our equipment
- Indoor space for eating

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, Ardley is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
