Old photos of St Boniface Down can spark conversation during a hog roast day. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Blasius Church, is a good occasion for a hog roast. With the sea within about 2 miles, many residents will have memories of the seaside.
We cover care home events in every part of the PO37 postcode area. Streets in the area include The Highway, Maythorne Way and Ash Grove, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

What else we do in Luccombe Village
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Your questions about a hog roast day in Luccombe Village
What’s the nearest station to Luccombe Village?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Luccombe Village?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What allergens are in the food?
We provide full allergen information for every dish. Stuffing generally contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.

- What crockery is supplied

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In summer, Luccombe Village has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

What affects the price in Luccombe Village
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Your team helps residents as needed.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
