Slow-roasted pork in Thorpe Green
Party hog roast in Thorpe Green, slow-roasted on site
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for christenings and naming days and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Thorpe Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Thorpe Green
What’s the nearest station to Thorpe Green?
Virginia Water station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
