When guests gather around a hog roast, it’s always a huge crowd pleaser and a moment that is talked about for months after the event. At Hog Roast Ash Mill, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of hog roasting. It’s more than just setting up a spit and cooking meat — it’s a full-day process, built on quality ingredients, time-tested methods, and an understanding of how to turn a meal into a centrepiece. Our professional chefs have spent years perfecting their craft, and therefore, you can only expect the very best from us.
The journey begins long before we arrive at your event. It all starts with sourcing the right hog. We work closely with local farmers and trusted suppliers to ensure we’re using the best quality, free-range pigs — ones that are not only ethically reared but perfectly suited for slow roasting. And depending on how many guests we’re feeding; we carefully select a size that ensures no one is left hungry (we always account for seconds — and sometimes thirds!). Even if you don’t choose pork, we will do the same with the alternative meat you opt for.
On the day of the event, Hog Roast Ash Mill arrive early —approximately 6 hours beforehand to get the cooking process underway. Preparation is meticulous. The hog is cleaned, scored by hand to encourage perfect crackling, and seasoned with a blend of sea salt and herbs. Once it’s ready, we secure the hog onto our specialist roasting machine, built to roast evenly and efficiently for hours on end.
And then… we wait. However, dung that time, we keep a close eye on the temperature and rotate the hog, so it cooks evenly. This isn’t something that can be rushed. It’s a process that requires patience— and it’s the reason our hogs always come out juicy with crispy skin perfection.
Then, our chef steps in, carving the meat fresh in front of your guests, ensuring generous servings of tender pork and crackling. And we don’t just pack up and disappear once we have served the meal. Our team stays on to ensure everything is cleaned down properly. We remove our equipment, tidy the area, and leave your venue exactly as we found it.
