Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Thruxton usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What affects the price in Thruxton
The price comes down to:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Common questions in Thruxton
Is Thruxton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Thruxton?
Grateley station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
