Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

FAQs for Bexon
Could you cook in Cromers Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Bexon too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you come to our fête?
We do. Send us the details.

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.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in Bexon
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Your trader requirements
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
