For event organisers in Nursted

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn parties in Nursted get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
