Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Skinners Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Hamstead Marshall 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 Skinners Green?
Newbury station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?

Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.

What happens on the day

In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
