How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evenings in Cobham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.

How our hog roast hire works in Cobham
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Cobham. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for birthdays and anniversaries and garden parties and barbecues.
In and around Cobham, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we will plan around it. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For event organisers in Cobham
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
