Beedon: your questions answered
Is Beedon close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Beedon too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Planning for dietary needs
Some visitors will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
Name an organiser to meet us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In late May, sunset in Beedon is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
