How our party hog roast works in Burnham
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. For big family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and apple sauce for your guests.
For a party in Burnham, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Burnham
Which station is closest to Burnham?
Burnham station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you cover Burnham?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Burnham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
