About the food

Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

FAQs for Thorpe Green
How far is Thorpe Green from London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Do you need anything from the family?
Very little: the space and a contact.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A short route for the equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
