Askett questions
What’s the nearest station to Askett?
The closest is Monks Risborough station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Askett and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Hog roast hire in Askett, carved to order
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include community events and club events and presentations, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
In a small place like Askett, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Askett, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- Numbers

- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
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, which is built into the price.
