What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
How our hog roast hire works in Thorley Street
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Thorley Street. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Popular choices include new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for work summer parties and birthdays and anniversaries.
In a small place like Thorley Street, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Thorley Street: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St. Swithin's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Planning an evening hog roast in Thorley Street? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Thorley Street hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Thorley Street is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
