Party hog roast for Beltinge
Party hog roast near Beltinge
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. We’re often asked to cater reunions and street parties, serving a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
Parties around Beltinge are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What affects the price in Beltinge
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Beltinge
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Beltinge, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.

Preparing for the day

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?

Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
