How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Summer events in Newenden have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

We get to the pitch early, timed for the gates opening.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A vehicle route onto the pitch
- Event approval for hot-food traders
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
