South Newington: your questions answered
Is South Newington close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like South Newington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
For event organisers in South Newington
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast brings the event to residents. 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.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
