How our wedding hog roast works in Cobham
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Whether it’s farm weddings and evening food after the first dance, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken and more.
A wedding in a small place like Cobham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Cobham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Why choose a hog roast in Cobham?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

FAQs for Cobham
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Cobham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
