Corporate hog roast in Burmarsh, slow-roasted on site
For a staff day in Burmarsh, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. We serve spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone celebrations and open days and family days.
Near Burmarsh, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Burmarsh questions
Can you roast near the sea around Burmarsh?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Burmarsh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Burmarsh, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
