- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We pack up whatever the weather.

FAQs for Benham Hill
Could you cook in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Benham Hill?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Roast potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast turkey
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
