Hog roast hire in Ashmansworth
How our hog roast hire works in Ashmansworth
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Ashmansworth. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. We’re often asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas fairs, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere as small as Ashmansworth, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Ashmansworth
Is Ashmansworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Ashmansworth from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late September evenings in Ashmansworth lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Why choose a hog roast in Ashmansworth?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
