Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Princelett
Do you come out to small places like Princelett?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Princelett?
Shanklin station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

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.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cater in Princelett?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Princelett and the Isle of Wight. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Give us a contact on site for the day.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- All the equipment comes with us
