About our hog roast hire in Coombe
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Coombe, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For work summer parties and Fêtes, fairs and shows, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
For a rural spot like Coombe, a hog roast feels right at home. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
