What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Common questions in Beech Hill
Is Beech Hill close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Beech Hill?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater in Beech Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Beech Hill hosts choose us
