Questions from Thrupp
Is Thrupp too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Holy Cross?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the 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 frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
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. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Thrupp is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
