How our Christmas hog roast works in Burwash Weald
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for festive family get-togethers and club and society Christmas parties.
Near Burwash Weald, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Burwash Weald
Which station is closest to Burwash Weald?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
We pack up whatever the weather.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
The process
