How our hog roast hire works in Newtown
In Newtown, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Whether it’s weddings and receptions and club events and presentations, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Somewhere like Newtown, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Newtown: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Newtown?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Spirit Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you cover the whole of the Isle of Wight?
We cover the Isle of Wight and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
Newtown is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Spit-roast lamb
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Crackling
- Apple sauce
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Newtown, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

A hog roast in Newtown: local details
Newtown is about 4 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Newtown and its neighbours for events. We cater all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Newtown to Southampton (14 miles away).
After a service at Holy Spirit Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Newtown is within about 6 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
We cover events in every part of the PO30 postcode area and the streets around it. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Locksgreen (1 mile east), Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Great Thorness (2 miles north-east), Forest Side (3 miles east) and Rew Street (4 miles north-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (4 miles east), Ryde (10 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north-east), Sandown (11 miles east), Shanklin (11 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east).

What affects the price in Newtown
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.
Why choose a hog roast in Newtown?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Newtown hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day
Take a look at our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
