Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved to order for a festive feel.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas parties in Thornborough are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
