How our hog roast hire works in Belbins
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Belbins, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater parties at home and milestone birthdays, with hog roast rolls, coleslaw and salads.
In a small place like Belbins, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset in Belbins is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.

- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
