Questions from Park Farm
Is Park Farm close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
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 happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Park Farm, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
