Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Nutbourne hosts choose us

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, it’s dark in Nutbourne by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast turkey can be added.
