Common questions in Ashley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Ashley?
The closest is New Milton station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need much space at base?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit, agreed with locations.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
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.
Can you serve at our lunch call?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we’ll be ready.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.

How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the shoot is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
