What we serve, dish by dish

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order

- Which meats and sides you’d like

Bells Yew Green: your questions answered
Is Bells Yew Green close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Bells Yew Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Ask for a quote

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the roaster
- Salads
- Apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Stuffing
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For event organisers in Bells Yew Green
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
