A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Questions from Burcot
Do you come out to small places like Burcot?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Mary and Saint Berin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Burcot, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
