Hog roast for events in Aston, carved to order
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater village fêtes and food and music festivals.
A fête near Aston might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. In late May, sunset in Aston is about 9:00pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:30pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Running an event in Aston
Aston is about 4 miles south of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We cover events in Aston, as well as the surrounding area. Aston is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Aston to Oxford (12 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as Church of St James, a hog roast adds hot food to the cakes and tombola.
Here we cover the OX18 postcode area. From Cote Road, Saxel Close and Woodbridge Close or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. We also bring hog roasts to events in Bampton (2 miles west), Weald (2 miles west), Curbridge (3 miles north), Black Bourton (4 miles west) and Clanfield (4 miles west). Further out, we also cater in Oxford (12 miles east), Didcot (14 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (10 miles east), Witney (4 miles north), Carterton (5 miles north-west) and Wantage (10 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Longworth Hospital (5.7 miles south-west) and Bampton Castle (2.1 miles west).
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths

Other occasions in Aston
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Aston: your questions answered
How far is Aston from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Aston?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from the organiser?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we’ll suggest a way to make it work.
What will our event need from you?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What affects the price in Aston
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Aston
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
