About our Christmas hog roast in Newbury
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on evenings and christmas family parties.
In Newbury, a hog roast is a welcome change at Christmas. Keep the cooking spot close and well lit. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

FAQs for Newbury
Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Newbury?
Newbury station, in Newbury itself.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
