About our party hog roast in Ashey
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. For milestone birthdays and close and cul-de-sac parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage and more.
Near Ashey, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
FAQs for Ashey
Which station is closest to Ashey?
Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Ashey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Ashey is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking close to the house
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
Ashey is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
