What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Common questions in Betsham
Is Betsham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will discuss the options.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you cover Betsham?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Betsham
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Late-May events in Betsham have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
