Slow-roasted pork in Beckley
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Beckley
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For weddings, day or evening and festive gatherings, we can cook coleslaw, crackling and new potatoes.
In a small place like Beckley, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Around midsummer it stays light in Beckley until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
