A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How our wedding hog roast works in Burstow
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. We serve rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater small, informal weddings and home weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Burstow, 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.

What else we do in Burstow
Why choose a hog roast in Burstow?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Burstow, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
