Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. Our guide compares the two. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us

Hog roast hire for your event in Bepton Common
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. For wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies, we can cook coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like Bepton Common, 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. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Bepton Common, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: 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 planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
