A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Newington Green hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

Newington Green questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Newington Green?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Which station is closest to Newington Green?
Canonbury station, in Newington Green itself.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you set up at the unit base?
Normally, if there is a level, open spot for the roaster under cover. Locations will confirm the spot.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal is not available.
What about crew who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A route for our vehicle
- A covered eating area
- Approval from locations
Newington Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people
