Party hog roast for Netley Marsh
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Netley Marsh stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
