Hog roast hire in Beal's Green, slow-roasted on site
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and shows and birthdays and anniversaries, with salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
In a rural place like Beal's Green, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late September evenings in Beal's Green lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
See how we price or what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
