Questions from Coombe
What’s the nearest station to Coombe?
South Croydon station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
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. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you get to rural locations?
We can, given access details. Let us know about the route.
Can you cater our wrap?
Of course. Tell us the date and location.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t offer halal meat.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- Sign-off from the location
Coombe is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Why choose a hog roast in Coombe?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
