About our hog roast hire in Newbridge
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Whether it is milestone birthdays and work summer parties, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling for your guests.
Somewhere like Newbridge, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Copythorne CofE Infant School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. After a service at Church of St Mary, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Newbridge, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers.

Newbridge: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Newbridge?
The closest is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Newbridge is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Read our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
