About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Ashford Common: your questions answered
Could you cook in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Ashford Common?
The closest is Upper Halliford station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. A lunchtime Christmas party in Ashford Common is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
