Foley Park: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Vinters Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Foley Park?
Maidstone East station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you go to remote locations?
Share the route to base and we’ll plan the journey.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production is different.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Post allergen details at base
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count crew needing an alternative
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
