How our hog roast hire works in Netherfield
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We are often asked to cater work summer parties and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
Somewhere like Netherfield, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. 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.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
