Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

How our party hog roast works in Thong
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays.
In a small place like Thong, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

FAQs for Thong
Which station is closest to Thong?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, sunset in Thong is about 7:00pm; by December it is about 3:50pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

Should I cook it myself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
