A hog roast near Ashmansworth
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How our corporate hog roast works in Ashmansworth
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Ashmansworth all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. Whether it is new premises openings and client hospitality, we can cook spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Ashmansworth, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Shelter for the team
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Ashmansworth: your questions answered
Is Ashmansworth 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.
Is Ashmansworth close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
