Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Old Netley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Old Netley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul’s Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
Hampshire is part of our area, including Old Netley. Ask for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Light matters for a long roast: in Old Netley, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
