Common questions in South Newington
We are gathering after a service at St Peter ad Vincula: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is South Newington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Do you come to South Newington?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Evening food at a South Newington wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
