About our hog roast for events in Nutcombe
Village fêtes around Nutcombe suit a hog roast: the smell draws people over, and a roll is easy to eat on the move. For school fairs and sports days and charity fundraisers, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Nutcombe, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, Nutcombe is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Balance the food line-up
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including when vehicles can move.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
