- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Newhaven
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Newhaven
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you

Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they normally set strict rules for caterers. With the South Downs National Park within about 5 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. Within about 3 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Shelter for the team
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Newhaven
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, 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 ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Lunchtime bookings in Newhaven are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
