Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

FAQs for Bury's Bank
Is Bury's Bank close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Bury's Bank too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do you need from the organiser?
Just a pitch, access and any agreed paperwork. Everything else comes with us.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
