Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

We pack up whatever the weather.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, it is dark in Newtimber by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

For event organisers in Newtimber
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
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 will keep you both updated.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
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.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
