Common questions in Newbridge
Is Newbridge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
