About our party hog roast in Ash Vale
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Whether it’s big family get-togethers and neighbourhood parties, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a place like Ash Vale, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
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.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
For event organisers in Ash Vale
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Ash Vale
Is Ash Vale close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening parties in Ash Vale need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
