About our hog roast hire in Nob's Crook
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. For parties at home and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb and more.
In a rural place like Nob's Crook, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Nob's Crook questions
Do you come out to small places like Nob's Crook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cater in Nob's Crook?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.

- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
