Party hog roast in Beltring
Party hog roast in Beltring, carved to order
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater big family get-togethers and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Beltring, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Beltring, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A step-free way into the garden

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What affects the price in Beltring
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
