What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Where the roaster can go in Burnt Hill
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A spot well away from the house
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Evening parties in Burnt Hill need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
