Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How our party hog roast works in Thursley
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and big family get-togethers.
A country party near Thursley is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it is light in Thursley until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

FAQs for Thursley
Is Thursley 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 St Michael and All Angels?
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.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
