Wedding hog roast in Telegraph Hill
About our wedding hog roast in Telegraph Hill
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For barn and farm weddings and anniversary vow renewals, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, crackling and salads for your guests.
Couples in Telegraph Hill frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Telegraph Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Fordham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St Catherine's Hatcham: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Evening food at a Telegraph Hill wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re 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.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Why choose a hog roast in Telegraph Hill?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
