Looking after everyone

- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Newington Butts is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Your questions about a hog roast for the crew in Newington Butts
What if our house in Newington Butts has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Newington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about locations off the beaten track?
Share the route to base and we will confirm.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
