About our hog roast for events in Newtown
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors, served as people finish. We’re frequently asked to cater community days and street fairs and car and steam shows, with crackling, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage.
At a fête or show near Newtown, a hog roast brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What else we do in Newtown
Newtown questions
Can you roast near the sea around Newtown?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Newtown too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you come to Newtown?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Add coleslaw.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Newtown?
For big events, ask us about the expected crowds early. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What affects the price in Newtown
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-May events in Newtown have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
For somewhere as remote as Newtown, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
