About our hog roast for events in Newnham
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. We are frequently asked to cater car and steam shows and town and village days, serving a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce.
A fête near Newnham might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our chef carves in front of your visitors, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
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.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
