A hog roast near Netherne on-the-Hill

Hog roast hire in Netherne on-the-Hill, carved to order

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Netherne on-the-Hill, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. For festive gatherings and wedding breakfasts and evening food, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.

In a London neighbourhood like Netherne on-the-Hill, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. If there’s no side passage, a rear gate, yard or communal space may work, and send us a picture. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Netherne on-the-Hill questions

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

What if our house in Netherne on-the-Hill has no side access?

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Is mains power needed?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.

What about coeliacs?

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

Do we need our own staff?

You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

What is hog roast hire?

You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.

Planning the cooking spot

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

  • Any venue rules sorted in advance
  • A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
  • A safe distance from walls, tents and trees

As a London location, Netherne on-the-Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Allergies and dietary needs

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
  • Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
  • Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled

Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
