- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, daylight in Netley Marsh ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Netley Marsh?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
