Ardington questions
Is Ardington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ardington close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you come to Ardington?
Yes, Ardington is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in Ardington is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
