Slow-roasted pork in Newick
Hog roast hire for your event in Newick
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in Newick, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater corporate events and christmas parties.
In a hamlet or village like Newick, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Why choose a hog roast in Newick?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What else we do in Newick
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Who books hog roast hire in Newick?
A hog roast is memorable. It’s food and a bit of theatre at the same time.
Hosts in Newick book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Work summer parties
- Festive gatherings
- Birthdays and anniversaries
A green space like Sheffield Park Garden is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Newick until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day
