How our hog roast hire works in Burmarsh
In Burmarsh, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Typical bookings include corporate events and weddings, day or evening, with hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere like Burmarsh, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Burmarsh lose the light at about 7:00pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
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.
