Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Where the roaster can go in Blackthorn
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)

- Crackling

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls

- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Blackthorn questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Blackthorn?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Blackthorn need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
