Hog roast hire for your event in Conyer
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include christmas parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving salads, new potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Conyer, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, 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, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
