How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Coombe, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Coombe questions
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Coombe close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
