About our party hog roast in Thatcham
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include getting-engaged parties and family reunions, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Thatcham frequently happen at home or in a local hall. A hog roast suits both, as long as there’s space outside. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Thatcham, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
