What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Little Conghurst wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day

Little Conghurst questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Little Conghurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you cover Little Conghurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Little Conghurst and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
