How our hog roast for events works in Thorley Street
A hog roast fits a village fête perfectly: the smell draws people over, and rolls are easy to eat while walking round. For car shows and rallies and school events, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Thorley Street, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

FAQs for Thorley Street
Is Thorley Street 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.
Can you roast near the sea around Thorley Street?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you do fêtes?
We love fêtes. Get in touch.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater in Thorley Street?
Yes, Thorley Street is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? 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 has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Late-September events in Thorley Street lose the light at about 7:10pm, so evening trading needs lights.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
