Hog roast for events near Burpham
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. We’re often asked to cater community days and street fairs and summer fêtes, with crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For events in a place like Burpham, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A hog roast does that. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Burpham: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Burpham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. We bring the rest.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
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 ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
