Beech parties: what to know
Beech is about 2 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Planning a hog roast for your party in Beech? We can help. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 20 miles away.
Historic houses near Beech include Bentworth Hall (1.5 miles west) and Hall Place (1.8 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. If the day starts at St Peter's, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back.
We cover parties in every part of GU34 and the streets around it. Whether your party is on Wellhouse Road, Medstead Road and King's Hill or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Beech, we also cover Thedden (1 mile north-west), Wivelrod (1 mile west), Bentworth (2 miles north-west), Holt End (2 miles west) and New Copse (2 miles west).

Beech: your questions answered
How far is Beech from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Beech?
Alton station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Autumn parties in Beech get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
