The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A lunchtime Christmas party in Aston Tirrold is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Aston Tirrold: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Aston Tirrold close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
