Party hog roast in Cookham, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll help you choose. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for retirement parties and naming ceremonies.
In a place like Cookham, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening parties in Cookham need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Let us know about tight access

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
