Planning an event in Thornborough?
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About our party hog roast in Thornborough
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Whether it’s getting-engaged parties and retirement parties, we can cook crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Thornborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Thornborough
How far is Thornborough from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Thornborough until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time

How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
