Hog roast for events for Telham
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Telham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Telham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-September events in Telham lose the light at about 7:00pm, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your visitors
