A hog roast near Cookham
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late May, sunset in Cookham is about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why choose a hog roast in Cookham?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
