Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A spot well away from the house
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

Common questions in Bellfields
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you come to Bellfields?
Yes, Bellfields is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Bellfields

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
