Slow-roasted pork in Newtimber
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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
About our party hog roast in Newtimber
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. For neighbourhood parties and naming ceremonies, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
