Common questions in Bury's Bank
Which station is closest to Bury's Bank?
Newbury Racecourse station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Could you cook in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater for vegans on set?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal is not available.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact in production
- Sign-off from the location
- Clearance from trucks, kit and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset near Bury's Bank is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
