About our hog roast hire in Telham
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re often booked for clubhouse events and wakes.
Somewhere like Telham, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Telham, sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
