Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Why choose a hog roast in Thorney Island?
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Thorney Island
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
