Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
FAQs for Aston
Is Aston too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is all of Oxfordshire covered?
We cover Oxfordshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Aston until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
