Bedhampton questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Bedhampton close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer hog roast day in Bedhampton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
