What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Questions from Newington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Newington from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Newington is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Think about children’s portions
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
