Hog roast hire in Aston Tirrold, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Aston Tirrold: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden parties and barbecues and gatherings after a funeral.
For a rural spot like Aston Tirrold, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast in Aston Tirrold
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Why choose a hog roast in Aston Tirrold?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Aston Tirrold, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
