Slow-roasted pork in Newick
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer events in Newick have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas makes a good food line-up. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Timed around your day

Running an event in Newick

A summer fête at Zion Chapel is the classic setting for a hog roast. PTAs at schools such as Newick Church of England Primary School frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. Within about 7 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we will follow the site’s requirements.
Anywhere in BN8, we can roast on site for your visitors, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your event is on High Street, Church Road and Station Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Newick, we also cover Founthill (1 mile south-east), North Chailey (1 mile west), Chailey (1 mile south-west), South Street (2 miles south-west) and Down Street (3 miles north-east).

Newick: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Newick?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What will our event need from you?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Make the stall easy to find
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
