Questions from Burley
Is Burley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We plan the roast to your lunch call, and we will adjust where we can.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you have alternatives?
We can add chicken, lamb or vegetarian options.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Because the roast starts early, and in December Burley is dark by about 4:05pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every shoot is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Burley
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
