FAQs for Ashley
Which station is closest to Ashley?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 5 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Ashley too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Ashley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- Site access
