Christmas hog roast for Newtown
Christmas hog roast in Newtown, carved to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Newtown suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. For christmas lights switch-ons and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Newtown, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Late-December sunset in Newtown comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
