Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Luccombe Village
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or PO37 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Luccombe Village
Is Luccombe Village too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Luccombe Village?
Shanklin station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where on site can you cook?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. After-work summer events in Luccombe Village have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
