The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In summer, Netherton has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- A picture of the cooking area

For event organisers in Netherton
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

FAQs for Netherton
How far is Netherton from London?
About 57 miles from central London.
Is Netherton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you carve thinly?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do soft food?
Modified textures are best done by the home; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
