A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. 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 Bedham hosts choose us

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Bedham is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Bedham questions
Do you come out to small places like Bedham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Bedham close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
