Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.

Your questions about a hog roast in Locksgreen
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Locksgreen too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Bringing a hog roast to Locksgreen
Locksgreen is about 3 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your event is in Locksgreen, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Locksgreen is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 14 miles away.
Locksgreen is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
We bring hog roasts to events all over the PO30 postcode area and the streets around it. If your venue is just outside Locksgreen, we also cover Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Newtown (1 mile west), Great Thorness (1 mile north-east), Forest Side (2 miles east) and Noke Common (3 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (3 miles east), Ryde (9 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east).

- Pubs nearby include Sportsman's Rest pub (under half a mile north)
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Locksgreen, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or PO30 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
