Slow-roasted pork in Thruxton
Wedding hog roast in Thruxton, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Thruxton. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and vow renewals and blessings, serving carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Thruxton have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
