Party hog roast in Newchapel, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. We’re frequently asked to cater summer parties in the garden and retirement celebrations, with a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Newchapel, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Newchapel stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.

Common questions in Newchapel
Is Newchapel too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Newchapel from London?
About 23 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is our garden suitable?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater in Newchapel?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Newchapel and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
