A hog roast near Park Farm
Wedding hog roast near Park Farm
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and second-day get-togethers.
For a smaller place like Park Farm, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order

What affects the price in Park Farm
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Send us the date, the address or TN23 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evening food at a Park Farm wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting for evening service
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Park Farm
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.
Could you cook in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can you cater in Park Farm?
Yes, Park Farm is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
