What affects the price in Beansheaf Farm
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
