FAQs for East Burnham
Do you come out to small places like East Burnham?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is East Burnham from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
