Party hog roast for Thedden
Party hog roast in Thedden, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. For 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and close and cul-de-sac parties, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In a small place like Thedden, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A spot well away from the house
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Questions from Thedden
Is Thedden close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Thedden?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
