Hog roast hire in Crondall, slow-roasted on site
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Crondall. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we are often booked for weddings and receptions and village fêtes and school fairs.
In a hamlet or village like Crondall, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Crondall, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
