Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Newnham Murren hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

Newnham Murren questions
Do you come out to small places like Newnham Murren?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you cover Newnham Murren?
Yes, Newnham Murren is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way in for the roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
