Hog roast hire for your event in Newington
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Newington. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Whether it is corporate events and club events and presentations, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and salads and more.
In and around Newington, gardens and village halls are common choices. If the lane is narrow, tell us so we can plan our vehicle. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Newington until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Newington: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Christopher's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Newington?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Kent is part of our area, including Newington. Ask for a quote.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
