We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Whether it is seasonal events and families’ days, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
At a rural home near Burgh Heath, access matters. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Where the roaster can go in Burgh Heath
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

- Clear of bedroom windows

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In summer, Burgh Heath has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Your questions about a hog roast day in Burgh Heath
Is Burgh Heath too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
