Three Ashes questions
Is Three Ashes close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you wait?
We wait: we hold the food until people arrive.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cater at home?
Wherever the family gathers, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Autumn and winter afternoons in Three Ashes get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
