HOG ROAST
Hog roast catering in Mansfield
Hog roasts across Mansfield, Ashfield and Sherwood, cooked on site and carved in front of your guests. From £795 for up to fifty, priced by guest numbers.
The pig goes on early and roasts for hours where people can see it. Crackling comes off in sheets, and it is carved to order across a full hour with apple sauce, sage and onion stuffing and fresh bread rolls.

Sherwood is where most of them happen
Most Mansfield hog roasts are somewhere with grass. Rufford Mill and the country park venues, the barns out past Edwinstowe, the cricket and football clubs around Forest Town and Rainworth, and a good number of back gardens in Mansfield Woodhouse and Warsop.
What those places have in common is that the catering has to arrive self-contained. There is rarely a kitchen, often no water within reach, and sometimes no hard standing. A hog roast suits that better than anything else we do: the machine is the kitchen, it runs on gas we bring, and it needs about three metres by five of reasonably level ground and nothing else.
We arrive an hour before your service time and set up where you tell us. The hog itself has been going a great deal longer than that.
Clubs, works dos and the big birthday
The other half of the Mansfield trade is indoors and organised: presentation evenings, club functions, works nights and the fiftieth or sixtieth that takes over a function room. For those the roast usually goes in a car park corner or a yard by the fire door, and the carving table comes inside.
Two things decide whether that works. The venue has to permit an open flame, which most do but some town-centre rooms do not, and there has to be a route from the machine to the room that does not run through the middle of your guests. Ask the venue both questions before you book anything, including us.
Anything over about fifty people is where a roast starts making more sense than a buffet on cost as well as on spectacle. Below thirty it rarely does, and we will say so on the phone.

Why Mansfield chooses us
Built for a field with no kitchen
Rufford, Edwinstowe, Clipstone and the country park venues are beautiful and almost none has a kitchen you can cook in. A roast brings its own heat.
One price for the whole event
£795 covers up to fifty guests. At 151 to 200 it is £1,450, about £7.25 a head, so the bigger the party the better it works out.
Carved across a full hour
Guests come over, take a plate and come back for more. That is what feeds two hundred people without a queue forming down the marquee.
A vegan main, not a side plate
Pulled BBQ jackfruit cobs are the standard alternative, with gluten-free, dairy-free and halal portions prepared separately and labelled.
What our customers say

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, Nottingham
Fantastic food and service from Sadlergates Catering Nottingham for a Celebration of Life event. They were so lovely to deal with and there were many compliments about the sandwich buffet on the day. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for catering an event.
Hester · Celebration of life, Nottingham
Sadlergate were outstanding from start to finish when catering our Christmas event. The festive buffet was of a very high standard providing three different meats and also veggie options. Shaun and Vicky were incredible throughout the evening, ensuring everything ran seamlessly and taking care of every detail.

We have catered Mansfield 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 Mansfield, your questions answered
How much is a hog roast in Mansfield?
£795 for up to fifty guests on the Bronze package, which is the hog, crackling, stuffing, bread rolls and sauces. Silver adds coleslaw and baby roast potatoes at £940, and Gold adds butcher’s best sausages at £1,050. Every guest band up to 200-plus is published on the hog roast menu.
How much space do you need?
About three metres by five of reasonably level ground for the machine and the gazebo, with no steps between it and where guests will eat. Grass is fine. Send us a photo of the spot and we will tell you straight away whether it works.
How far ahead should we book?
Weeks rather than days, and a summer Saturday wants booking considerably earlier than that because those dates go first. Midweek is far easier and costs exactly the same.
What happens if it rains?
The cooking is under a gazebo, so the food is unaffected. What matters is where your guests eat: a marquee, a barn, a function room or a big garage all work. Somewhere for people to stand out of the weather is the thing to sort.
Is there a vegetarian and vegan option?
Pulled BBQ jackfruit cobs are the standard vegan main alongside the hog, and they are a proper portion rather than a garnish. Gluten-free, dairy-free and halal-sourced portions are prepared separately and labelled.
Do you cover Sutton, Kirkby and Ollerton?
Yes, and Mansfield Woodhouse, Forest Town, Rainworth, Warsop, Edwinstowe and Clipstone. If you are a little outside that, ring the office and ask.
