Christmas hog roast in Burnham
Christmas hog roast in Burnham, carved to order
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and staff Christmas do’s.
At a festive party in Burnham, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

- Roughly how many people

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A lit route to the food
- Vehicle access close by
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
