Hog roast hire for Beddington
Hog roast hire in Beddington, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it is christmas fairs and work summer parties, we can cook coleslaw, crackling and salads for your guests.
Gardens in Beddington tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Who books hog roast hire in Beddington?

If you had Waddon Ponds in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Questions from Beddington
Could you cook in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Beddington?
The closest is Waddon station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need a big space?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Beddington, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning help
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
As a London location, Beddington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
