Slow-roasted pork in Beech
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Take a look at our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Hog roast hire in Beech, carved to order
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s parties at home and weddings and receptions, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads for your guests.
In a rural place like Beech, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Put the menu on the invitation
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Common questions in Beech
How far is Beech from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
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.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Beech, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
