A hog roast near New Charlton
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Christmas hog roast in New Charlton, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for sports club Christmas do’s and winter open days.
For Christmas parties in New Charlton, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

What affects the price in New Charlton
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
