How our hog roast for events works in Bellingdon
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Bellingdon. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For horse and dog shows and PTA summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
At a field event near Bellingdon, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Bellingdon

Berkhamsted station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you come to a school fair in Bellingdon?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do fêtes?
We do. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-September events in Bellingdon lose the light at about 7:05pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
