DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Burlow questions
Do you come out to small places like Burlow?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Burlow from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing usually contains gluten
- Make the stall easy to find
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
If the ground is soft, we will need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

- A level pitch with firm ground
- A safe distance from other traders
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Crackling
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Summer events in Burlow have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
