Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
FAQs for West Ashling
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like West Ashling?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an evening party in West Ashling, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A heads-up for next door

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Travel to West Ashling
- Whether you want china
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
