Hog roast hire in Nately Scures
How our hog roast hire works in Nately Scures
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Nately Scures, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Nately Scures hosts choose us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
