Hog roast hire for Ashburton
Hog roast hire in Ashburton, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Whether it’s parties at home and wakes, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Gardens in Ashburton tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Bringing a hog roast to Ashburton
Ashburton is about 6 miles south of New Cross, in Greater London. From village halls to gardens and fields, events around Ashburton suit a hog roast. Ashburton is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 8 miles away.
PTAs at schools such as St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School often look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. A green space like Ashburton Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
For events in CR0, SE25 and CR9, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Your event could be at a house on Long Lane, Tudor Road and Coe Avenue or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Ashburton, we also cover Woodside (1 mile north), Addiscombe (1 mile south), Shirley Oaks (1 mile south-east), Monks Orchard (1 mile south-east) and Shirley (1 mile south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as London (8 miles north), City of Westminster (9 miles north-west), Marylebone (10 miles north), Kensington (10 miles north-west), St Pancras (10 miles north) and Shoreditch (10 miles north).
Nearby you will also find Whitgift Centre (1.6 miles south-west) and Addiscombe (0.7 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Duppas Hill and Bramley Bank.
- Schools near Ashburton include Oasis Academy Shirley Park (within half a mile south-east)
- Local pubs include The Beehive pub (less than half a mile west)
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Ashburton lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
For event organisers in Ashburton
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Where the roaster can go in Ashburton
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
As a London location, Ashburton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Ashburton
- New potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing

- Spit-roast lamb

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Questions from Ashburton
Could you cook in Ashburton Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ashburton?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What affects the price in Ashburton
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
