Ashton Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Ashton Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
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.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
