Hog roast for events in Cobham
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Hog roast for events near Cobham
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Whether it is community events and agricultural and country shows, we can cook apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken and more.
For events in a place like Cobham, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-May events in Cobham have light until about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
