Hog roast hire for Burridge
About our hog roast hire in Burridge
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. We are frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and village fêtes and school fairs, serving salads, new potatoes and coleslaw.
In a rural place like Burridge, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Burridge, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
