About our hog roast hire in Noke Common
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include staff days and open days and christmas fairs, with salads, new potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Somewhere like Noke Common, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Prices and what affects them

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Common questions in Noke Common
Could you cook in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Light matters for a long roast: in Noke Common, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Noke Common

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
