About our wedding hog roast in Burroughs Grove
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include farm weddings and weddings in a marquee, with halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Burroughs Grove, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Burroughs Grove, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Questions from Burroughs Grove
Is Burroughs Grove too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
