Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
How our party hog roast works in Burkham
In Burkham, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. For engagement parties and close and cul-de-sac parties, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Burkham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Burkham
Is Burkham close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Is Burkham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

What else we do in Burkham

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
