Wedding hog roast near Newington
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
Weddings in a place like Newington frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Carved to order by a chef

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
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.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Newington questions
Can you cater after a service at St Christopher's Church?
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. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Newington?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
