A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Full catering or machine hire?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Common questions in Beansheaf Farm
Can you do a hog roast in Calcot Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
How does hog roast hire work?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Beansheaf Farm
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
