Hog roast for events for Coombe
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

How we price a hog roast for your event
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Coombe are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Let us know about tight access
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why choose a hog roast in Coombe?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
