A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. Summer events in Burmarsh have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
