Hog roast hire in Hinxhill Park
How our hog roast hire works in Hinxhill Park
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. We’re often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and wakes, with halloumi skewers, coleslaw and salads.
Somewhere as small as Hinxhill Park, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Perfect for your event in Hinxhill Park
A hog roast is memorable. It’s food and a bit of theatre at the same time.
However big or small the event in Hinxhill Park, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings often include:
- Clubhouse events
- Parties at home
- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Weddings and receptions
If you had Conningbrook Lakes Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Your questions about a hog roast in Hinxhill Park
Is Hinxhill Park close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cater across Kent. Ask for a quote.
Can you cater in Hinxhill Park?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Where the roaster can go in Hinxhill Park
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Any venue rules sorted in advance

What else we do in Hinxhill Park
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late September evenings in Hinxhill Park lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
