How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, Ashmore Green is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Getting a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Ashmore Green

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Ashmore Green?
The closest is Newbury Racecourse station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Do you have documents for event organisers?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you come to our fête?
A hog roast suits a fête perfectly. Ask for details.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.
Chicken widens the choice.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- A level pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
