How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in Donnington are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:

Donnington questions
Could you cook in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Donnington?
Newbury station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
