Is Bury's Bank too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Bury's Bank?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Bury's Bank are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

- A lit route to the food
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
