For event organisers in Cookham
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
