Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Ashmansworth hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
FAQs for Ashmansworth
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Ashmansworth?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in Ashmansworth
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site

- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Ashmansworth stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
