FAQs for Newport
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cover Newport?
Yes, Newport is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Corporate hog roast in Newport, slow-roasted on site
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. On the menu are hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for project wrap-ups and team-building days.
For businesses in Newport, a summer lunch in the car park is an easy win, as long as the site allows gas cooking. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
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.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Access through the site gates
- A contact on site
For somewhere as remote as Newport, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Newport have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
