Christmas hog roast for Newport
Christmas hog roast in Newport, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for family Christmas gatherings and work Christmas parties.
For a festive get-together in Newport, hot pork and turkey make a change from the usual. Plan lighting and a short route from the roaster to the party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planning a Christmas party in Newport
Newport is about 10 miles south-west of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Our roaster is a regular sight at Christmas parties around Newport, from gardens to fields. Newport is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Newport to Southampton (16 miles away).
Newport is on or near the A3020 and A3054, so we can reach it easily in winter. A winter fair at a school like Nine Acres Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The coast is within about 5 miles of Newport, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
Here we cover the PO30 postcode area. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on High Street, Red Fox Square and Drill Hall Road, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Newport sits on or near the A3020 and A3054, so getting the roaster to your Christmas party is simple. Other places close to Newport we cover include Shide (1 mile south-east), Blackwater (2 miles south), Downend (2 miles east), Merstone (3 miles south-east) and Rookley (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (7 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). Being one of the Isle of Wight’s larger places, Newport has lots of places with room for a hog roast. For a Christmas party at a remote spot, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip.
Nearby you will also find Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Open spaces near Newport include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.
- Nearby schools include Island Innovation VI Form Campus (less than half a mile south-east) and Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include Castle Inn (within half a mile north-east)
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Take a look at our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Christmas parties in Newport are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Vehicle access close by
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
Newport is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Popular choices
- Roast potatoes
- Crackling
- Roast turkey
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Other occasions in Newport
Newport: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you cover Newport?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
For event organisers in Newport
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, 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 everyone in the loop.
