A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Billingbear questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Billingbear too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A photo of the cooking area
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Autumn parties in Billingbear get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- 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.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
