Questions from Thorncombe Street
Is Thorncombe Street close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Thorncombe Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if things run late?
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 space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
