Planning a wedding hog roast in Newington
Newington is about 7 miles north-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. We cater weddings of every size in Newington. Newington is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Newington to Oxford (about 8 miles away).
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Giles, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. Within reach of Newington are historic houses such as Garsington Manor (3.6 miles north-west) and Clifton Hampden Manor (3.9 miles west). Historic houses and estates often have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that is your venue. With the Chilterns National Landscape within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Ask your venue where a hog roast can cook.
We bring hog roasts to weddings all over OX10 and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Newington, we also cover Great Holcombe (1 mile south), Drayton St Leonard (1 mile west), Brookhampton (1 mile north-west), Stadhampton (1 mile north) and Berrick Salome (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Oxford (8 miles north-west), Didcot (7 miles south-west), Abingdon-on-Thames (7 miles west), Thame (8 miles north-east), Wantage (14 miles west) and Henley-on-Thames (13 miles south-east).
A little further out are Littlemore Hospital (5.7 miles north-west) and Brightwell Castle (4.3 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Wittenham Clumps and Wells Farm.
- Local pubs include The Catherine Wheel pub (0.9 miles west)
How our wedding hog roast works in Newington
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We serve carved roast pork, salads and crackling, and we’re often booked for evening food after the first dance and marquee receptions.
Rural weddings around Newington have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Newington: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Giles?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Newington close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Newington, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Light near the carving station after dark
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
