Burwash Common: your questions answered
Is Burwash Common close to London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
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 crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
