Hog roast for events for Coombe
About our hog roast for events in Coombe
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Coombe. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. For tournaments and sports days and community events, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling and more.
In Coombe, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Organisers normally need council permission for public spaces, and the roaster needs a pitch with clearance. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Late-May events in Coombe have light until about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from other traders
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- A queuing area
As a London location, Coombe is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
