If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which usually keeps the cost down. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Burnt Hill questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
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.
Which station is closest to Burnt Hill?
The closest is Pangbourne station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
