For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Common questions in Ash Vale
Can you do a hog roast in Ramillies Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Ash Vale?
Ash Vale station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Both models are possible. We’ll agree what suits yours.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In late May, sunset in Ash Vale is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
