About our Christmas hog roast in Newington
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. We serve apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and christmas markets.
In winter near Newington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Newington
What’s the nearest station to Newington?
Folkestone West station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Newington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you cover Newington?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Newington and Kent. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Light by the serving table
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why choose a hog roast in Newington?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What else we do in Newington
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
