Hog roast for events in Newchurch, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. We are frequently asked to cater car and steam shows and club events, serving crackling, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
At a field event near Newchurch, power and water may be limited; we cook on gas, so we don’t need mains power. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Newchurch
Is Newchurch too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Newchurch?
Ham Street station, about 3.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Requirements vary. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you do charity events?
Get in touch.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Your trader requirements
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A firm way on and off the field
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
