Wedding hog roast in Conford, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. For weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of salads, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Conford often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

Conford: your questions answered
How far is Conford from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Lighting for evening service
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. At a December wedding in Conford, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
