Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Where the roaster can go in Burwash
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Burwash until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Your questions about a hog roast in Burwash
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
