For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Hog roast hire in Newton Valence, carved to order
People book a hog roast in Newton Valence for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for weddings, day or evening and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere like Newton Valence, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. The hog is roasted on site at your event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Newton Valence, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
