Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Common questions in Netley
Can you do a hog roast in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Netley from London?
About 69 miles from central London.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order for a festive feel.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
