Christmas parties in Steephill: local tips
Steephill is about 3 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. Our roaster is a regular sight at Christmas parties around Steephill. We cater all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Steephill to Southampton (24 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy gets dark early, so hot food is popular. A Christmas fair at Church of St. Alban-the-martyr is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. With the sea within about 2 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Questions from Steephill
Do you come out to small places like Steephill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Sunset in Steephill in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
