Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Common questions in Newbury
What’s the nearest station to Newbury?
Newbury has its own station: Newbury station.
Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
