Common questions in Newington
How far is Newington from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Newington?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Newington, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
