What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Shanklin Village questions
What if our house in Shanklin Village has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
For event organisers in Shanklin Village
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Where the roaster can go in Shanklin Village
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
As a London location, Shanklin Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
