Party hog roast in Cobham
Party hog roast near Cobham
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. For ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a place like Cobham, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Common questions in Cobham
Which station is closest to Cobham?
The closest is Cobham & Stoke Dabernon station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
