Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Asheridge: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Asheridge close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. In Asheridge, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
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.
