Our hog roast service in Ashford
Ashford has changed more than most Kent towns in recent decades. With the M20 on its edge and high-speed trains to London St Pancras, it has grown into a major hub for East Kent, with large new neighbourhoods, business parks and distribution sites around an old market town centre.
That growth means a lot of families, new businesses and community groups, all of whom need catering at some point. We cook hog roasts, lamb and BBQs on site across Ashford and the surrounding villages, with sides, sauces and serving staff all included.
We cater across Ashford as part of our hog roast catering in Kent. For the full picture of how we work, see our full-service hog roasts page.
Where we cater in Ashford
Newer areas such as Singleton, Kingsnorth, Park Farm and Repton Park produce a steady run of garden birthdays and street parties, while the business parks near the motorway junctions book staff barbecues and summer days. The countryside is never far away: the North Downs rise to the north around Wye and Charing, and to the south the land flattens out towards Hamstreet and Romney Marsh, with plenty of farms hosting weddings and summer events.
Gardens on new-build estates can be smaller than people expect, with narrow side paths and allocated parking. A photo of the garden and access when you enquire helps us choose the right set-up.

BBQ catering in Ashford
For events in Ashford with a mixed crowd or a tight serving window, we often suggest a BBQ, either on its own or running alongside the hog roast. Two serving points shorten the queue and give everyone more to choose from.

Events we cater in Ashford
Wedding hog roasts
Weddings around Ashford often take place in barns and farmyards along the Downs or out towards the Marsh. We'll cater the wedding breakfast with carved pork or lamb and a full spread of sides, or keep it to evening food, with the same roast feeding both if you'd like.
Wedding hog roastsCorporate events
Ashford's growing business base means plenty of staff summer parties, family days and client events. We can run two serving points for larger numbers and make sure vegetarian, vegan and other dietary needs are covered and clearly labelled.
Corporate cateringBirthday & private parties
Family parties are a big part of our Ashford work, especially birthdays and christenings in the newer estates. Where gardens are compact, a BBQ set-up often fits better, and it's easy to add a small hog roast alongside for bigger numbers.

Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.

Hog roast FAQs for Ashford
My Ashford garden is on a new-build estate. Is there enough room?
Usually, yes. We need a level spot for the cooking equipment and a route in that's wide enough to carry it through. If side access is narrow, we can set up on the drive and serve from the patio, or use a BBQ set-up which is more compact.
Do you cover Wye, Charing and the villages around Ashford?
Yes. We cover the whole Ashford area, including Wye, Charing, Hamstreet, Kennington, Pluckley and villages out towards Romney Marsh.
How much does a hog roast in Ashford cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
