How our hog roast hire works in Burstow

For a rural spot like Burstow, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Burstow questions
Is Burstow too small for a hog roast?
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 St Bartholomew?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater in Burstow?
Yes, Burstow is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Light matters for a long roast: in Burstow, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

What else we do in Burstow
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
