How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, daylight in Niton ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.

- We leave base tidy.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

How we price a hog roast for the crew
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
We arrive early and set up at base, so the roast is ready by lunch.
Ask for gluten-free rolls.
