How our Christmas hog roast works in South Newington
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater festive family get-togethers and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In winter near South Newington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas parties in South Newington are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Vehicle access close by
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in South Newington
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- The date and time of the event
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
