Slow-roasted pork in Newbury
Party hog roast near Newbury
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it is getting-engaged parties and wedding anniversaries, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce for your guests.
In a town like Newbury, a garden party with a hog roast is a classic choice, and a hall or club works if the garden is small. All we need is a level spot with clearance. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
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 is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
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.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it is light in Newbury until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests
