How our corporate hog roast works in Newtown
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. For client hospitality and new premises openings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Newtown, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Newtown
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Newtown too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about family fun days?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we will plan for everyone.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
How do we book for a business?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access through the site gates
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Newtown is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Open days in Newtown generally finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
