Slow-roasted pork in Nutley
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Nutley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Nutley questions
We are gathering after a service at St James the Less: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Nutley close to London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps us check.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you travel across East Sussex?
East Sussex is part of our area, including Nutley. Get in touch for a price.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
