Slow-roasted pork in Thrupp
Hog roast hire for your event in Thrupp
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Thrupp, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We’re often asked to cater weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
In a hamlet or village like Thrupp, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is generally the easier choice. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- All the equipment comes with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our pricing or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Thrupp
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Common questions in Thrupp
How far is Thrupp from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Holy Cross: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Is it just pork?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Thrupp, it stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
