A hog roast near Newfound
Wedding hog roast in Newfound, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. For the day after the wedding and home weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and carved roast pork for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Newfound frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Newfound
Can you cater after a service at St John's?
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.
How far is Newfound from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Newfound are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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.
