Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Aldington Frith
What’s the nearest station to Aldington Frith?
Ham Street station, about 3.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Could you cook in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china

What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:

What else we do in Aldington Frith
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
