A hog roast across GU12: what to know
There are 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets in GU12, so whether your event is in Aldershot, Ash and Ash Vale or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Ash: After a service at Church of St Peter, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. For a fundraiser at a school like Walsh CofE Junior School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Evenings in Ash stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Who books hog roast hire?
Slow roasting cannot be faked: the meat is tender and the crackling crisp.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around GU12, such as:
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
- Parties at home
- Work summer parties
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Is a hog roast right for you?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too.
What your quote should include
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- Staffing on the day
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
