DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About our hog roast hire in Burlow
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. For gatherings after a funeral and birthdays and anniversaries, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes and more.
In a small place like Burlow, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

FAQs for Burlow
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crackling included?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Burlow, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
