Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
What affects the price in Aston
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Travel to Aston
- Menu choices and extras
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Aston
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Aston?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will talk you through it when we quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
A hog roast or other catering?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an evening party in Aston, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
