Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How our hog roast hire works in Beedon
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Beedon, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We are frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and milestone birthdays, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and salads.
Somewhere as small as Beedon, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

By late September, sunset in Beedon is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Your questions about a hog roast in Beedon

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do gluten-free?
