Event catering in Thame
The process
We work back from when you want to eat: we arrive early for a hog roast, and in good time for a barbecue. Either way, food is ready when you are. Evening events in Thame need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

How our event catering works in Thame
Our catering doesn’t need a kitchen at the venue: we cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. On the menu are beef burgers, pulled pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for garden parties and festive parties.
Caterers in Thame get asked for all sorts, and we’re no different: a hog roast for a wedding, a barbecue for a birthday, both for a fête. All we need is a level spot outdoors to cook. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to.

Questions from Thame
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 follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Thame?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Which occasions do you cover?
Most kinds: weddings, parties, work events, community events and more. Let us know the occasion.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes. We’re happy to agree access, timings and the cooking spot with your venue or planner.
Do you cater large events?
Yes. A hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and for big events many hosts add a barbecue. Give us rough numbers and the serving time and we will suggest a plan.
Which menu suits our event?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue offers more choice. For big events, both works well.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

How we price your catering
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Thame
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
All the cooking kit comes with us, so there’s nothing for you to find or hire for the cooking.
Ask us to label the meat-free food.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
