FAQs for Beech Hill

What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Hog roast hire for your event in Beech Hill
People book a hog roast in Beech Hill for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Occasions we serve in Beech Hill

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Beech Hill
- Numbers
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.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Light matters for a long roast: in Beech Hill, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
