A hog roast near Chobham
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Chobham ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early

Common questions in Chobham
How far is Chobham from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you need much space at base?
Usually, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for halal if needed
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
