Slow-roasted pork in Ashfield
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Hog roast hire for your event in Ashfield
People book a hog roast in Ashfield for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and corporate events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like Ashfield, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Planning an evening hog roast in Ashfield? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
