Questions from Coombe
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Coombe close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Instead of organising a trip, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Served at the time you choose

- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
