A hog roast near Thursley
How our hog roast hire works in Thursley
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for club events and presentations and milestone birthdays.
In a hamlet or village like Thursley, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Thursley, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day
