Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Roast or jacket potatoes
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Questions from Nuffield
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Nuffield from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you come to Nuffield?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Nuffield and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
