Hog roast hire for your event in Beckley
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Beckley. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. For wakes and christmas parties, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
In a small place like Beckley, a hog roast often 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 staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX3 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Put the menu on the invitation
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Beckley. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Beckley, sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
