Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Nettlebed questions
How far is Nettlebed from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Nettlebed too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

What happens on the day
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party. In Nettlebed, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
