Common questions in Cobham
Is Cobham close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
For event organisers in Cobham
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, with crackling for everyone who wants it. After-work summer events in Cobham have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
