Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.

Other occasions in Branstone
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Questions from Branstone
Which station is closest to Branstone?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Is Branstone too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
