Aston Tirrold questions
What’s the nearest station to Aston Tirrold?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time

- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Aston Tirrold hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At a December wedding in Aston Tirrold, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
