Party hog roast near Newnham
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. For close and cul-de-sac parties and naming ceremonies, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Newnham, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Perfect for your party in Newnham
It feeds a crowd at once, instead of food in dribs and drabs.

What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
