A hog roast near Bewbush
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Hog roast hire in Bewbush, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We’re often asked to cater wakes and christmas fairs, serving spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and salads.
There may be a hall or playing field near Bewbush if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Planning an evening hog roast in Bewbush? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

FAQs for Bewbush
Can you cater after a service at St Alban's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you cook in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
