Planning a wedding hog roast in Newtown
Newtown is about 4 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Our roaster is a regular sight at weddings around Newtown. Newtown is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Newtown to Southampton (14 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Newtown are Swainston Manor (1.6 miles south-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.7 miles south-east). Historic houses and estates often have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that is your venue. Brighstone Down nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. The sea is within about 6 miles, so seaside venues are close. We’ll think about shelter from sea breezes.
Weddings anywhere in PO30 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater weddings in Locksgreen (1 mile east), Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Great Thorness (2 miles north-east), Forest Side (3 miles east) and Rew Street (4 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (4 miles east), Ryde (10 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north-east), Sandown (11 miles east), Shanklin (11 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east). If your wedding is somewhere remote, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip.
Nearby you will also find St Mary's Hospital (4 miles east) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.7 miles south-east). Within reach you will find Brighstone Down.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Newtown: your questions answered
Can you roast near the sea around Newtown?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Spirit Church: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
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. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Newtown at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your guests
