Planning a party in Newington
Newington is about 1 mile north-west of Ramsgate, in Kent. Hosts in Newington book us for parties of all sizes. Newington is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
Among the historic houses close to Newington are Quex Park (3.4 miles west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Ramsgate station, roughly 0.7 miles south-east of the centre. The coast is within about 2 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Streets in the area include Gwyn Road, Haine Road and Leigh Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Party hog roast in Newington, slow-roasted on site
In Newington, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. For reunions and street parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce for your guests.
Around Newington, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Newington, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
