How our hog roast for events works in Burnham
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We are often asked to cater community days and street fairs and school events, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
Events near Burnham are often volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
