Christmas hog roast in Newtown
FAQs for Newtown
Can you do a hog roast in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Newtown?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Christmas hog roast in Newtown, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. Whether it’s winter fairs and markets and end-of-term celebrations, we will put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken and more.
Around Newtown, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Why choose a hog roast in Newtown?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
