Full catering or machine hire?

Questions from Ash
Could you cook in Aldershot Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A hog roast compared with other options
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Ash hosts choose us
- Timed around your day

- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Ash, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
