For event organisers in Cobham
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Is a hog roast right for your party?

Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
See our prices page or the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
