Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

Godshill questions
Can you cater after a service at St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Godshill?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A hog roast compared with other options
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
