Questions from Ashurst
Do you come out to small places like Ashurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Ashurst?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll agree what suits yours.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
We’re happy to talk it through and we’ll see what’s possible.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, events in Ashurst stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Add coleslaw.
