- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
What else we do in Neithrop
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Neithrop
Could you cook in People's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Neithrop close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

We provide full allergen information for every dish. Gluten-free rolls can be provided.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you cook in the kitchen?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.

Why Neithrop hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Neithrop is about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
