Ashley questions
Do you come out to small places like Ashley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Ashley close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.

- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year

What we need to know
