A country party near Nettlestead is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening parties in Nettlestead need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Common questions in Nettlestead
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Nettlestead too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
What if things run late?
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.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. A picture helps.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
