How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Fishbourne normally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- An estimate of numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.

Fishbourne questions
Is Fishbourne too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Fishbourne?
Ryde Esplanade station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
