Community events across West Berkshire

West Berkshire has events everywhere, from Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to village fêtes in 139 small places. A hog roast suits all of them. Parts of West Berkshire are within a few miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Newbury: If your event is in Victoria Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. For anyone arriving by train, Newbury station is in Newbury itself. At midsummer, events in Newbury stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:

Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
How many people are eating
Crockery choices
How easy it is to reach the spot

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What we need to know

Here’s what we’ll ask:

The date and time of the event
An estimate of numbers
Any dietary needs or allergies
Rules from the venue or landowner

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
