Hog roast for events in Noke Common
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Noke Common is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
Name an organiser to meet us.
Chicken widens the choice.
