Slow-roasted pork in West Burton
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
How our hog roast hire works in West Burton
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Whether it’s big birthdays and anniversaries and parties at home, we can cook new potatoes, coleslaw and salads and more.
Somewhere as small as West Burton, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

West Burton questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Cross: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Do you come to West Burton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including West Burton and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around West Burton, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Take a look at how we price or what a hog roast costs.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- 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 booking.
