Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Parking near the cooking area
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
Shalfleet is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Shalfleet
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices

- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.

Common questions in Shalfleet
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Shalfleet too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
For event organisers in Shalfleet
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
