Ashampstead Green questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Clement?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you come to Ashampstead Green?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Other occasions in Ashampstead Green
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Ashampstead Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, 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.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
