Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Thorney questions
Can you cater after a service at St. Leonard's?
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.
Is Thorney close to London?
About 17 miles from central London.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
