How our hog roast for events works in Newtimber
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We are self-contained and leave the pitch tidy. Whether it is fundraising events and tournaments and sports days, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your visitors.
At a field event near Newtimber, power and water may be limited; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Make the stall easy to find
- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
A vegan burger or sausage covers vegan visitors.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For an autumn event in Newtimber, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- 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 carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
