Common questions in Bellingdon
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Bellingdon?
Berkhamsted station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Around midsummer it stays light in Bellingdon until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Getting ready for the day

What else we do in Bellingdon
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
