Christmas hog roast in Burham, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are frequently asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Burham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Burham
Could you cook in Burham Marsh?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Burham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
