Common questions in Hinxhill
What’s the nearest station to Hinxhill?
Ashford International station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Hinxhill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
Wedding hog roast in Hinxhill, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it’s intimate weddings and garden weddings at home, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Hinxhill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Hinxhill are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
