Common questions in Beckley Furnace
Is Beckley Furnace too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Beckley Furnace?
The closest is Doleham station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Is electricity needed?
Mainly a pitch and access. Everything else comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Halal is not offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
We serve as the queue moves.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
