Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.

How our party hog roast works in Newtown
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and back-garden get-togethers, serving a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
Around Newtown, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Common questions in Newtown
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Newtown?
The closest is Ashford International station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Do you come to Newtown?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Newtown and Kent. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Newtown until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

What affects the price in Newtown
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Newtown
- Time on site
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Planning a party in Newtown
Newtown is about 1 mile south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Newtown is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. Newtown is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
If you had Ashford Green Corridors in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If the day starts at Christ Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Newtown, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over TN24 and TN23 and the streets around it. Local streets include Bath Road, Mead Road and Royds Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Other places close to Newtown we cover include South Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Park Farm (1 mile south-west), Willesborough (1 mile north-east), Ashford (1 mile north-west) and Finberry (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (14 miles north-east), Folkestone (13 miles east), Faversham (13 miles north), Hythe (10 miles south-east), Davington (13 miles north) and Preston (12 miles north).
A little further out are Ashford Designer Outlet (0.5 miles north) and William Harvey Hospital (1.7 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Hatch Park.
- Nearby schools include The North School (1.1 miles north)
- Local pubs include The Albion Inn (0.5 miles north-east)

What the cooking area needs
