Your questions about a hog roast in Temple Ewell
Do you come out to small places like Temple Ewell?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in Temple Ewell?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Hog roast hire in Temple Ewell, carved to order

In a small place like Temple Ewell, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Parking near the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
