Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Autumn parties in Ashmore Green get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What else we do in Ashmore Green
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
