How our hog roast for events works in Burham
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Typical bookings include agricultural and country shows and car and steam shows, with rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
Rural events near Burham can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

What affects the price in Burham
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Check other traders aren’t all selling pork
- Make the stall easy to find
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Tell us about ground conditions, especially after rain.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, events in Burham stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
