Slow-roasted pork in Burgh Hill
How our hog roast hire works in Burgh Hill
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. For wakes and memorial gatherings and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads for your guests.
Somewhere like Burgh Hill, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evenings in Burgh Hill stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Burgh Hill: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
