Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.

Common questions in Newington Butts
Which station is closest to Newington Butts?
Newington Butts has its own station: Elephant & Castle station.
Could you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cater in Newington Butts?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
