Book a hog roast in Newington Green
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Newington Green, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
As a London location, Newington Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Your questions about a hog roast in Newington Green
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Newington Green?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Newington Green?
Canonbury station, in Newington Green itself.
Can you cater in Newington Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Newington Green and Greater London. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Newington Green?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
