Beltring: your questions answered
Is Beltring too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Beltring from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What do you need from the organiser?
The roaster runs on gas, so no mains power is needed to cook. Power helps for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We love fêtes. Ask for details.

The process

- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive

- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
