How our hog roast hire works in East Burnham
In East Burnham, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. Typical bookings include parties at home and sports clubs and societies, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like East Burnham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
How we price a hog roast
Here’s what affects the price:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

For event organisers in East Burnham
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
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.
