About our party hog roast in Beenham
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We serve crackling, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater naming ceremonies and retirement celebrations.
In a small place like Beenham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Evening parties in Beenham need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Beenham questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Beenham from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
