Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Newton Valence
How far is Newton Valence from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Newton Valence too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
