In Burwash Weald, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs and village fêtes and school fairs, serving crackling, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.

Evenings in Burwash Weald stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Burwash Weald questions
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Is Burwash Weald close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.

Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
