For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Thorney questions
Can you cater after a service at St. Leonard's?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Thorney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Thorney

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Thorney, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
