A hog roast near Beltring
Hog roast hire in Beltring, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it is christmas parties and work summer parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
In a rural place like Beltring, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

What else we do in Beltring
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Light matters for a long roast: around Beltring, it stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
