About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Questions from Nob's Crook
Is Nob's Crook too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Nob's Crook from London?
About 63 miles from central London.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater in Nob's Crook?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Nob's Crook and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Where the roaster can go in Nob's Crook
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A heads-up for next door
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
