Why choose a hog roast in Newtimber?
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

FAQs for Newtimber
Which station is closest to Newtimber?
The closest is Hassocks station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St John Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you cover Newtimber?
Yes, Newtimber is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the roaster

- Crackling

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
