Party hog roast in Conyer, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We are frequently asked to cater naming ceremonies and garden parties, with jacket potatoes, coleslaw and apple sauce.
A country party near Conyer is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are 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.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn parties in Conyer get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Conyer
Is Conyer too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come to Conyer?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
