Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Daytime open days in Nettlestead Green are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Shelter for the team
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
