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.

Common questions in Godshill
What’s the nearest station to Godshill?
Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles east of the centre.
Is Godshill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
