About our party hog roast in Thornhill
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. Whether it’s family reunions and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and jacket potatoes and more.
Around Thornhill, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Questions from Thornhill
How far is Thornhill from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Thornhill?
The closest is Sholing station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you come to Thornhill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Thornhill and the rest of Southampton included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Thornhill, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
