The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In Timsbury, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- A named contact for the day
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Timsbury

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What affects the price in Timsbury
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
