DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How our corporate hog roast works in Newington
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Newington through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Whether it is thank-you lunches and site openings, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
Teams near Newington frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Access through the site gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. If your staff event in Newington runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:15pm in June to 3:50pm in December.
