Hinxhill Park questions
Could you cook in Conningbrook Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Hinxhill Park?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.

Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Autumn parties in Hinxhill Park get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
