Beckley questions
Is Beckley close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Beckley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Wedding hog roast near Beckley
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee receptions and intimate weddings.
Rural weddings around Beckley have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Beckley, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re 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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
