Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Party hog roast in Ashley, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Ashley, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and christenings and naming days, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Around Ashley, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Guests arriving by train should know that New Milton station, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the nearest station. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Ashley, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

How it works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Autumn parties in Ashley get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.

Questions from Ashley
We’re gathering after a service at St. Peter's Church: 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 will gather.
Which station is closest to Ashley?
The closest is New Milton station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
