Wedding hog roast in Telscombe, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and intimate weddings, with crackling, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
In Telscombe, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you cater in Telscombe?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. For a summer wedding in Telscombe, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What affects the price in Telscombe
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
