DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in North Ascot
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Travel to North Ascot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Balance the food line-up
- Show allergens at the stall
We serve as the queue moves.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A queuing area
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, North Ascot is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
