Slow-roasted pork in Ashburton
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
How our party hog roast works in Ashburton
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. Whether it is christenings and reunions, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and coleslaw.
Most parties in Ashburton are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A picture helps. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Ashburton questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Ashburton?
Norwood Junction station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Ashburton, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

- A step-free way into the garden
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Ashburton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
