FAQs for Newtown
Do you come out to small places like Newtown?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you cover Newtown?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why choose a hog roast in Newtown?
