Our hog roast service in Thame
Thame's high street is its signature: a long, unusually wide market street, curving gently through the town and lined with old inns, shops and houses of every period. It's a market town in the classic sense, sitting on the River Thame close to the Buckinghamshire border, with the M40 a few miles south and the Chiltern escarpment visible on the horizon. The town's agricultural show each autumn says a lot about the farming country around it.
Weddings, farm parties and family celebrations make up most of what we do in and around Thame. We cook the roast on site, carve it fresh and bring salads, breads, stuffing and sauces, with BBQ and lamb menus available as well.
We cater across Thame as part of our hog roast catering in Oxfordshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Thame
The countryside is the draw. Villages such as Towersey, Tetsworth, Haddenham and Long Crendon just over the county line, and Chinnor at the foot of the Chilterns, have farm venues, barns and large gardens that host weddings and milestone parties. In town, the recreation grounds, schools and clubs hold summer fairs and community events, and the market street itself gives Thame a strong sense of occasion.
Farm access is usually good in the flat land around the town, though clay fields can be heavy after rain. Near the Chilterns, lanes steepen and narrow, so we'll ask about the route in.

Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
Sample hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.

Hog roast FAQs for Thame
Do you cover villages on both sides of the Oxfordshire–Buckinghamshire border near Thame?
Yes — Towersey, Tetsworth, Chinnor and Sydenham on the Oxfordshire side, and Haddenham, Long Crendon and Chearsley in Buckinghamshire.
We're holding a party on a farm field near Thame in autumn. Anything we should plan for?
Clay ground can get soft after rain, so identify firm parking for our vehicle and a level spot for the roast near a hard track. A back-up location or covered serving area is sensible later in the year.
How much does a hog roast in Thame cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
