What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, daylight in Burcot lasts until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

Questions from Burcot
How far is Burcot from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Burcot?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you go to remote locations?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Do you have documents for locations?
Tell us what the production needs, and we will confirm what we can provide.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
