About our hog roast hire in Ashendon
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and wakes.
In a small place like Ashendon, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Ashendon
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

Ashendon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ashendon?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
