Nettlestone: your questions answered
Is Nettlestone too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Nettlestone?
Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre.
What about visitors who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers often ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Do you do fêtes?

Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.

Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
See our pricing and the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Nettlestone
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO34 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We carve to order through the agreed hours.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Nettlestone are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
