The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Party hog roast in Thruxton, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We are often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, with jacket potatoes, coleslaw and crackling.
Near Thruxton, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Thruxton, think about light: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What else we do in Thruxton
Questions from Thruxton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Thruxton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A spot well away from the house
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
