Hog roast for events in Nursted, carved to order

Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Do you come to Nursted?

What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-May events in Nursted have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
