How our party hog roast works in Ashtead
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. We serve rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for street parties and summer parties in the garden.
In Ashtead, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A hog roast suits both, as long as there is space outside. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, it is light in Ashtead until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
