Common questions in Burwash
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Bartholomew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Burwash?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
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.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How our wedding hog roast works in Burwash
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Burwash. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Whether it’s marquee weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
A wedding in a small place like Burwash often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A way in for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Permission for outside catering
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras

- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
