How our hog roast hire works in Coombe
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Around Coombe, most London bookings are in back gardens, yards, school grounds and car parks. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a photo. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Coombe hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Sides to make it a full meal
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
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 you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
