Questions from Netley
Can you roast near the sea around Netley?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does the roast need?
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.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you need power on site?
Mainly a pitch and access. We bring the rest.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In December, Netley is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
