How our hog roast hire works in Coombe
In Coombe, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and milestone birthdays, with halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
In a hamlet or village like Coombe, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Evenings in Coombe stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Your questions about a hog roast in Coombe
Is Coombe too small for a hog roast?

How far is Coombe from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you clear up?

Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
