How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Newington, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

Wedding hog roast in Newington, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Whether it is relaxed, low-key weddings and wedding breakfasts, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
Weddings in a place like Newington often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What affects the price in Newington
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
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.

- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Newington: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Newington from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.

Catered or do it yourself?
