Newington: your questions answered
Is Newington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can visitors eat too?
It works well as a day with families.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in Newington?
Yes, Newington is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

What else we do in Newington
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about china.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, your kitchen looks after those portions. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
Read our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. In summer, Newington has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
