Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, well away from the entrance.
If there was a favourite dish from our menu, tell us.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

FAQs for Binstead
Can you cater after a service at Holy Cross Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Binstead?
The closest is Ryde Esplanade station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What should we provide?
Very little: an outdoor cooking spot and someone to meet us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cover Binstead?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Binstead and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you do something else?
There are chicken, vegetarian and vegan alternatives. We don’t offer halal meat.
