Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.

Betsham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Betsham?
Longfield station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cook it or do we?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.

Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or DA13 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Betsham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
