How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, it’s dark in Beltinge by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Beltinge
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Beltinge
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Common questions in Beltinge
What’s the nearest station to Beltinge?
Herne Bay station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre.
Could you cook in Bishopstone Cliffs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
