Slow-roasted pork in Newport
Party hog roast near Newport
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater neighbourhood parties and back-garden get-togethers.
In Newport, home and the local hall are popular party venues. Either works, as long as there is space outside. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A step-free way into the garden
For somewhere as remote as Newport, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Common questions in Newport
We are gathering after a service at The Man in the Moon: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Events we cater in Newport
Children usually love it, with chicken as a backup.
People around Newport book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. Popular choices:
- Close and cul-de-sac parties
- Ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries
- Naming ceremonies
- Big birthday parties
A green space like Seaclose Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

- How many staff will carve and serve
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs

How we price a hog roast for your party
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Newport
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Sunset in Newport is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Hosting a hog roast party in Newport
Newport is about 10 miles south-west of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. A hog roast suits parties around Newport, whatever the venue. We cover all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
A christening at The Man in the Moon followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. Nearby historic houses include Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe House (2.5 miles south). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in PO30, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include High Street, Red Fox Square and Drill Hall Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. You will find Newport on the A3020 and A3054, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Nearby, we also cater parties in Shide (1 mile south-east), Blackwater (2 miles south), Downend (2 miles east), Merstone (3 miles south-east) and Rookley (3 miles south). Further out, we also cater in Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (7 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). As one of the bigger places in the Isle of Wight, Newport has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces. Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
