What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
About our party hog roast in Telham
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. We’re frequently asked to cater wedding anniversaries and naming ceremonies, with apple sauce, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Telham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book our hog roast in Telham

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
