Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A friend or relative we can call
- A short route for the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn and winter afternoons in Newell Green get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Get in touch when the date is set.
- We confirm the space.
- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What affects the price in Newell Green
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wake is different. The main factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is frequently simpler. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- No surprises: everything in writing
- All the equipment comes with us

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
