Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Add dietary questions to the invite

If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.

Christmas hog roast in Newington, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Newington, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling, and typical bookings are for office Christmas parties and christmas markets.
In Newington, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Why choose a hog roast in Newington?

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. By about 3:50pm in late December, Newington is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
