In winter near East Burnham, we need firm ground and light. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in East Burnham by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
