Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Newbury
Is Newbury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Catherine: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you come to Newbury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Newbury and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A step-free way into the garden
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn parties in Newbury get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning a party in Newbury
Newbury is about 3 miles south-east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Newbury and the surrounding area are covered for parties. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages in Kent. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 14 miles away.
If the day starts at Church of St Catherine, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. Parks such as Cromers Wood typically need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Newbury is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in ME9 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Kingsdown (1 mile south), Dungate (1 mile south-west), Bapchild (1 mile north), Erriottwood (1 mile south-east) and Rodmersham Green (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (11 miles west), Ashford (12 miles south), Canterbury (14 miles east), Sittingbourne (3 miles north-west), Whitstable (12 miles east) and Faversham (5 miles east).

Within reach of Newbury are historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (4.3 miles south-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
