Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

FAQs for Noke Common
Is Noke Common too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
Can you cater in Noke Common?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Noke Common and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
