About our Christmas hog roast in Ash Vale
Fridays in December go first, so contact us as soon as you know your date. We serve apple sauce, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater office Christmas parties and festive family get-togethers.
At a festive party in Ash Vale, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Ash Vale: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Ash Vale?
Ash Vale station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Ramillies Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
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 the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Ash Vale are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Vehicle access close by
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why choose a hog roast in Ash Vale?
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
