Corporate hog roast for Coombe
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How our corporate hog roast works in Coombe
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for staff summer days and milestone celebrations.
Around Coombe, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and courtyards. Facilities teams generally need to approve gas equipment and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Coombe hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.

Common questions in Coombe
What if our house in Coombe has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Could you cook in Addington Hills?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
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.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
