- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.

Common questions in Ascott Earl
How far is Ascott Earl from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Ascott Earl?
Ascott Earl has its own station: Ascott-Under-Wychwood station.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Ascott Earl, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras

Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A heads-up for next door
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
