Evening parties in Nuthurst need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Is Nuthurst too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

What happens after service?

Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
