About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
As a London location, Shanklin Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Shanklin Village: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Shanklin Village has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
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.
Do you come to Shanklin Village?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Shanklin Village and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Shanklin Village are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
