About our hog roast hire in Cookham
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. For wakes and memorial gatherings and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
In and around Cookham, gardens and village halls are common choices. If access is tight, we’ll plan around it. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Why book our hog roast in Cookham
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
