Ashampstead Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Ashampstead Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Ashampstead Green?
Goring & Streatley station, about 3.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you set up at the unit base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. On a winter shoot near Ashampstead Green, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
