Ashford Common: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at St Saviour: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Ashford Common close to London?
About 16 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Ashford Common, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
