Common questions in Beenham
How far is Beenham from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
What happens if it is dark?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A lunchtime Christmas party in Beenham is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
