Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser.

Elmfield is within about a mile of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By late September, sunset in Elmfield is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
For somewhere as remote as Elmfield, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast in Elmfield
We are gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Elmfield?
Ryde St Johns Road station, in Elmfield itself.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
