Corporate hog roast in Thorley Street
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Shelter for the team
- A named contact for the day
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Thorley Street is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a staff lunch in Thorley Street, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your staff

Thorley Street for staff days and open days
Thorley Street is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We’re happy to travel to Thorley Street for staff events. Thorley Street is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Within about 3 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Wherever your staff event is in PO41, we can roast on site for your staff. That could mean a staff event in a garden on Hill Place Lane and Holmfield Avenue or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Thorley Street, we also cover Thorley (1 mile west), Wellow (1 mile south-east), Ningwood (1 mile east), Shalcombe (2 miles south-east) and Newbridge (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). For a staff event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.

Thorley Street questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Thorley Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Questions to ask before booking
- Allergen information for every dish
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- VAT, if it applies
- Travel and any London charges
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
