Book a hog roast in Thornborough
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
How our hog roast for events works in Thornborough
Every event handles food differently: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. We serve hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater festivals and community days and street fairs.
Near Thornborough, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- Event approval for hot-food traders
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
