Hog roast hire in Bellfields, slow-roasted on site
People book a hog roast in Bellfields for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. On the menu are coleslaw, hog roast rolls and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and staff days and open days.
In a smaller place like Bellfields, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how we reach the garden. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put the menu on the invitation
Slow roasting needs attention, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By late September, sunset in Bellfields is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
