The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By late September, sunset in Netley is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

About our hog roast hire in Netley
In Netley, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for festive gatherings and clubhouse events.
A place like Netley frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Netley
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules

Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
Why choose a hog roast in Netley?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

FAQs for Netley
Can you do a hog roast in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast near the sea around Netley?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you come to Netley?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
