HOG ROAST
Hog roast catering in Hucknall
Hog roasts in Hucknall and the villages around it, cooked on site and carved in front of your guests. From £795 for up to fifty, priced by guest numbers.
Our kitchen is on Castle Industrial Park, in the town. The machine, the gazebo and the chef set off from Watnall Road, which is why a Hucknall booking is the one where a late question usually has an easy answer.

Hog roasts in the town the kitchen is in
Every hog roast this company cooks anywhere sets off from Watnall Road. For Hucknall that means the shortest possible gap between the kitchen and the event, and it changes what is possible on the day rather than what is possible on paper: a forgotten table, an extra twenty rolls, a chef needed half an hour earlier than planned.
Most Hucknall roasts are gardens, clubs and halls. Hucknall Town FC, the John Godber Centre, the cricket and bowls clubs, and the bigger back gardens out towards Butler’s Hill and Broomhill. Titchfield Park events and village functions at Linby, Papplewick and Bestwood Village make up much of the rest.
Newstead Abbey and Papplewick Pumping Station are both within a few minutes, and both are grounds where a roast carved in the open does far more for the day than anything brought in under foil.
What the day looks like
The hog goes on hours ahead. We arrive about an hour before your service time, set up where you tell us and carve to order across a full hour, so guests eat when they are ready. Everything is cleared away afterwards and you are left with the room.
We need roughly three metres by five of level ground with no steps between the machine and where people will eat, and somewhere to park close enough to unload. Water and electricity help if they are there and are not needed.
Served in fresh bread rolls with apple sauce, sage and onion stuffing and crackling. Pulled BBQ jackfruit cobs are the standard vegan main, with gluten-free, dairy-free and halal portions prepared separately.

Why Hucknall chooses us
Made and cooked in the same town
Everything leaves from Castle Industrial Park. For a Hucknall garden or club the chef is minutes away, not counties.
Newstead Abbey and Papplewick nearby
Two of the best event settings in the county are on the doorstep, and both are the kind of grounds a roast suits far better than a plated meal.
£795 for up to fifty
Rising to £1,450 at 151 to 200 guests, about £7.25 a head. Three packages, every band published on the menu page.
A late change is a phone call
Numbers moving in the last few days is usually absorbable here. Ring and ask rather than assume, and you will get an answer straight away.
What our customers say
4.9 out of 5 from 210+ Google reviews
Booked Sadlergates for my husband’s 50th birthday, The Hog Roast (we went with the Gold package). The team (Will, Ryan and Vickie) were all absolutely fantastic, friendly and professional whilst having a laugh with us! The food was completely outstanding, and every single guest commented on how incredible it was.
Shel · 50th birthday hog roast, Mansfield
Fantastic food and service from Sadlergates Catering for a family celebration. Everything arrived on time, looked great and tasted even better. Would not hesitate to use them again.
Hester · Family celebration, Nottingham
We received a sample buffet at our workplace and were very happy. The sandwiches were fresh, there was plenty of choice and the vegetarian option was properly thought about rather than an afterthought.
Sarah · Office buffet, Derby
We have catered Hucknall since 2012. If you have a date in mind, the earlier we know it the more likely it is still free.
Hog roast catering in Hucknall, your questions answered
How much is a hog roast in Hucknall?
£795 for up to fifty guests on Bronze, £940 on Silver with coleslaw and baby roasts, £1,050 on Gold with butcher’s best sausages. At 151 to 200 guests Bronze is £1,450, about £7.25 a head. Every band is published.
Can you do a hog roast at short notice here?
It is worth ringing, which is not something we would say about everywhere. The kitchen is in the town and the limit is usually whether a hog can be sourced in time and whether the date is already taken.
Do you cover Linby, Papplewick and Newstead?
Yes, and Bestwood Village, Annesley, Watnall, Nuthall, Kimberley and Eastwood. It is the shortest run we make.
How much space is needed?
About three metres by five that is reasonably level, with no steps between the machine and the eating area. Grass is fine. Send a photo of where you are thinking and we will confirm it.
What is the vegan option?
Pulled BBQ jackfruit cobs, served as a main in their own right alongside the hog. Gluten-free, dairy-free and halal-sourced portions are prepared separately and clearly labelled.
Is fifty guests really the minimum?
A hog feeds what it feeds, so thirty guests pay the up-to-fifty price and take a good deal home. It is not a rule so much as a point where a buffet usually gives you more for the money, and we will say so.
