For event organisers in Thornborough

Wedding hog roast near Thornborough
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Popular choices include crackling, salads and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for marquee receptions and the day after the wedding.
Near Thornborough, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What a hog roast costs

- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Thornborough questions
Do you come out to small places like Thornborough?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
