Party hog roast for Ashburnham
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Ashburnham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ashburnham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald 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.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
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 will check.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Ashburnham need a little planning: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A word with the neighbours
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
