Hog roast hire in Newchurch, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, then carve and serve at the time you choose. Typical bookings include christmas parties and sports clubs and societies, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
In a hamlet or village like Newchurch, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we’re there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Why choose hog roast hire in Newchurch?
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.

- Fêtes, fairs and shows
- Wakes and memorial gatherings

Nearby historic houses include Haseley Manor (0.8 miles west) and Arreton Manor (1.9 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.

What affects the price in Newchurch
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Newchurch
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Newchurch, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
