A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Burgh Heath hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How our hog roast hire works in Burgh Heath
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For wakes and birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Burgh Heath, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
