Hog roast for events near Netley Marsh
Agricultural shows and country events near Netley Marsh are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. For fun runs and sports events and car and steam shows, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
A fête near Netley Marsh might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
