Newton Longville questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Faith: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Newton Longville too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Wakes in Newton Longville are normally in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
