Christmas hog roast in Newbury, carved to order

Near Newbury, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Events we cater in Newbury
Hot food on a cold night is always welcome.
Hosts in Newbury book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Lights switch-on evenings
- Christmas markets

A winter fair at a school like Rodmersham School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

- The full menu and the sides
- Staffing on the day
- Any travel or access charges
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By about 3:50pm in late December, Newbury is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
How to get a price

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Indoor space for eating
- A lit route to the food
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
