Slow-roasted pork in Ashford Hill
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How our party hog roast works in Ashford Hill

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Ashford Hill
Do you come out to small places like Ashford Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you come to Ashford Hill?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
