Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Burghclere Common questions
Could you cook in Sandleford Priory?
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.
Which station is closest to Burghclere Common?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
