Your questions about a hog roast day in East Burnham
Could you cook in Cocksherd Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is East Burnham from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you provide allergen information?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
Can you do soft food?
Modified meals should come from your kitchen. We’ll share allergen and menu details.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter afternoons in East Burnham are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
