Ashlett: your questions answered
Is Ashlett too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
