Hog roast for events in Aston, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: people follow their noses, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. Whether it’s fun runs and sports events and fundraising events, we will put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Aston might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, Aston is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

FAQs for Aston
Is Aston too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Aston?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 1.7 miles south-west of the centre.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What affects the price in Aston
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
