About our party hog roast in Thorley Street

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By late September, sunset in Thorley Street is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:05pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.

Questions from Thorley Street
Is Thorley Street too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Thorley Street?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Party venues around Thorley Street
Thorley Street is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Hosts in Thorley Street book us for parties of all sizes. We bring hog roasts to all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Historic houses near Thorley Street include Mottistone Manor (3.4 miles south-east) and Swainston Manor (3.9 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Wherever your party is in PO41, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your party could be at a house on Hill Place Lane and Holmfield Avenue, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
