In a small place like Ashurst, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Ashurst is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

FAQs for Ashurst
We are gathering after a service at Colbury Christ 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’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Ashurst?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you come to Ashurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Ashurst and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
