About our event catering in Ashford
Every menu has vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and barbecue chicken cover guests who don’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater residents’ days and film and TV crews, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls with crackling and beef burgers.
Big-town venues in Ashford sometimes have approved caterer lists, so check before booking. Private gardens and clubs rarely have that problem. Everything we serve is cooked at your venue, from a carved hog roast to a full barbecue.

What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.
BBQ ribs
For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are frequently the highlight.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

Why choose us as your caterers in Ashford?
Hog roast or barbecue? The hog roast is the showpiece, the barbecue the crowd-pleaser. Many events have both. 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 book with us
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Hot food cooked at your venue
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
