FAQs for Thorncross
Do you come out to small places like Thorncross?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
What will our facilities team need?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Thorncross
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. Whether it is away days and client hospitality, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb for your staff.
Near Thorncross, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Open days in Thorncross usually finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so late events need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
