How our hog roast hire works in Ashington
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For staff days and open days and gatherings after a funeral, we can cook hog roast rolls, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Ashington, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Ashington questions
Can you cater after a service at Ashington Methodist Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which normally keeps the cost down. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Ashington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- 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 pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
