About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Questions from Cobham
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do a hog roast in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Where the roaster can go in Cobham
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
