How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Three Ashes until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.

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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why choose hog roast hire in Three Ashes?
You do not need much on your side: just an outdoor spot for the roaster. We bring the rest.

Questions to ask before booking
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Whether VAT is included
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Whether travel is included
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
