Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?

Can you help with a fundraiser?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will work it out together.
Hog roast for events in Burntcommon, slow-roasted on site
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. For PTA summer fairs and charity fundraisers, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Burntcommon, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer events in Burntcommon have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
