A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. On a winter shoot near Nettlecombe, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

Planning help
What affects the price in Nettlecombe
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
