FAQs for Temple Hill
Do you trade at school fairs around Temple Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Central Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. Power helps for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.

For planners, venues and organisers

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. For an autumn event in Temple Hill, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
