Hog roast hire in Conford, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and garden parties and barbecues, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Conford, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees

The process

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What affects the price in Conford
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Conford
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
