The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. By late September, the light in The Burroughs goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early

What affects the price in The Burroughs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
