About our hog roast hire in Nonington
People book a hog roast in Nonington for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we’re often booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and community events.
In a small place like Nonington, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
How we price a hog roast
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event in Nonington. Around midsummer it stays light in Nonington until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
