Burkham questions
How far is Burkham from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Burkham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
