Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Staplers. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include new potatoes, coleslaw and salads, and typical bookings are for weddings and receptions and club events and presentations.
There may be a hall or playing field near Staplers if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Common questions in Staplers
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is all of the Isle of Wight covered?
We cover the Isle of Wight and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
