Common questions in Ashurst
Is Ashurst close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Ashurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
For event organisers in Ashurst
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
