About our event catering in Ashford
Most people looking for caterers in Ashford want the same things: good food, on time, with no mess left behind. That’s our job, whether it is a hog roast or a barbecue. We are often asked to cater community fun days and work Christmas parties, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
Caterers in Ashford get asked for all sorts, and we are no different: hog roast or BBQ, depending on the occasion. All we need is a level spot outdoors to cook. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy the event.
For event organisers in Ashford
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

How we compare with other caterers
Compared with a caterer who drops food off, our team cooks on site and serves your guests, and clears up afterwards. 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 us?
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Hot food cooked at your venue

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
For a long event, a hog roast at lunch and a barbecue later can work.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
