Christmas hog roast in Bierley, slow-roasted on site
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Bierley: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We are often asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and christmas markets, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Bierley, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What affects the price in Bierley
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Bierley
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Planning a Christmas party in Bierley
Bierley is about 5 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your Christmas party is in Bierley, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. We bring hog roasts to all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight. We cater events right across the region, from Bierley to Southampton (23 miles away).
For colleagues travelling by train, Shanklin station is about 5 miles away. If a church like Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold.

Questions from Bierley
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Bierley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What space does the roaster 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 there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
