Thorley Street questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at St. Swithin's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How our wedding hog roast works in Thorley Street
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. For wedding breakfasts and garden weddings at home, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
Near Thorley Street, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Planning a wedding hog roast in Thorley Street
Thorley Street is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We bring a hog roast for your wedding to weddings anywhere in Thorley Street, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Thorley Street is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Thorley Street to Southampton (about 16 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Mottistone Manor (3.4 miles south-east) and Swainston Manor (3.9 miles east). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and gas cooking. Marrying at St. Swithin's Church? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. The sea is within about 3 miles, so seaside venues are close. We will think about shelter from sea breezes.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO41, so your wedding can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Hill Place Lane and Holmfield Avenue, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater weddings include Thorley (1 mile west), Wellow (1 mile south-east), Ningwood (1 mile east), Shalcombe (2 miles south-east) and Newbridge (2 miles east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (7 miles east), Ryde (13 miles east), Cowes (8 miles north-east), Sandown (14 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). If your wedding is somewhere remote, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
A little further out are Yarmouth Castle (1.7 miles north-west) and Ferguson Family Museum (2 miles west). Within reach you will find Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Compton Down.
For event organisers in Thorley Street
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Thorley Street, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Let us know about tight access
