How our party hog roast works in Ashley
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Ashley, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Whether it is neighbourhood parties and big birthday parties, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes for your guests.
A country party near Ashley is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Ashley need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Show us the garden or drive.

Preparing for the day
