Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Ashfield

For a Christmas party near Ashfield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.

Ashfield: your questions answered

Romsey station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
Is Ashfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater in Ashfield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Ashfield and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By about 4:00pm in late December, Ashfield is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Indoor space for eating
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A lit route to the food
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A winter fair at a school like Oasis Academy Lord's Hill gets dark early, so hot food is popular. A Christmas fair at Church of St Boniface is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. The New Forest National Park is within about 8 miles of Ashfield; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
