A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Thorncombe Street hosts choose us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- An itemised quote
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we’re there for. You can get on with your event.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Light matters for a long roast: around Thorncombe Street, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
