Questions from Burley
Do you come out to small places like Burley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, events in Burley stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
