Book a hog roast in Little Conghurst
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Little Conghurst, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How our party hog roast works in Little Conghurst
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling.
In a small place like Little Conghurst, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
FAQs for Little Conghurst
Can you do a hog roast in Collingwood Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Little Conghurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Parking close to the house
- A word with the neighbours
- A spot well away from the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
