How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A summer party in Old Netley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s big family get-togethers and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Old Netley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A step-free way into the garden

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.

FAQs for Old Netley
Can you roast near the sea around Old Netley?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
