Hog roast hire in Nutcombe, carved to order
In Nutcombe, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and garden parties and barbecues.
Somewhere as small as Nutcombe, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Common questions in Nutcombe
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Luke?
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 will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Nutcombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book our hog roast in Nutcombe
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Nutcombe, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Getting a price
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
Send us the date, the address or GU26 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
