Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give final numbers in good time
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

FAQs for Newbury
Could you cook in Victoria Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St Nicolas Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to Newbury?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Newbury and West Berkshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
