In Ashford, home and the local hall are popular party venues. Either works, as long as there is space outside. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, it is light in Ashford until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
