About our hog roast hire in Telscombe Cliffs
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. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
For a place the size of Telscombe Cliffs, your own garden is often the best venue: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Telscombe Cliffs
Can you cater after a service at Ascension Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is all of East Sussex covered?
We cater across East Sussex. Ask for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Telscombe Cliffs until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Access for our equipment, without steps
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
