A hog roast near Whitwell
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About our hog roast hire in Whitwell
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Whitwell, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts and evening food and birthdays and anniversaries.
Somewhere like Whitwell, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Whitwell: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Whitwell?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Is it just pork?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you cover Whitwell?
Yes, Whitwell is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Everything for serving comes with us, so all you need is the space.
