Beenham questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Beenham close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Evenings in Beenham stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information

Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
