For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter afternoons in Burwash Common are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- 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 serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
Getting a price

Burwash Common: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Burwash Common?
Stonegate station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Burwash Common 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.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
