Steephill questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Alban-the-martyr?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Steephill?
The closest is Shanklin station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
