DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For event organisers in Burstow
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Common questions in Burstow
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?

Do you come to Burstow?

How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do we need cover?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
