Hog roast hire for your event in Nutbourne
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Nutbourne. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Whether it’s work summer parties and festive gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb and more.
Somewhere as small as Nutbourne, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Nutbourne
Is Nutbourne close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
We cater across West Sussex, including Nutbourne. Ask for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Around midsummer it stays light in Nutbourne until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
