Hog roast hire for Ashford
About our hog roast hire in Ashford
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
In Ashford, gardens come in all sizes, and most can take a roaster if there’s side access and clearance. A nearby hall or club is a good alternative. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Questions from Ashford
Which station is closest to Ashford?
Ashford Surrey station, in Ashford itself.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Matthew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Ashford
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Ashford, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive

Planning help
For event organisers in Ashford
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Events we cater in Ashford
You do not need much on your side: an outdoor cooking spot and a contact on the day. We bring the rest.
