Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Newtown hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Newtown, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm 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.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
