Hog roast hire for Ashmore Green
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Hog roast hire for your event in Ashmore Green
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Ashmore Green, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Typical bookings include staff days and open days and sports clubs and societies, with crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Ashmore Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What comes off the roaster

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Ashmore Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Ashmore Green questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Ashmore Green close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
