Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
As a London location, Ashburton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How our Christmas hog roast works in Ashburton
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for end-of-term celebrations and family Christmas gatherings.
In Ashburton, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Common questions in Ashburton
Can you do a hog roast in Ashburton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Ashburton?
The closest is Norwood Junction station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is turkey available?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Norwood Junction station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west of the centre. A winter fair at a school like St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Ashburton, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
