Hog roast hire for Newdigate
Hog roast hire for your event in Newdigate
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for parties at home and big birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere as small as Newdigate, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RH5 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
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.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
