About hog roast hire in the Isle of Wight

We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, which means it’s carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include gatherings after a funeral and wedding breakfasts and evening food, serving salads, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting.

  1. You share the when, where and how many.
  2. We look at the cooking area and send a price.
  3. We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve.
  5. We pack away and leave you to it.

Planning a hog roast in the Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight covers everything from Newport, Ryde and Cowes to 102 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 116 of the places we cover in the Isle of Wight are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Newport: Within reach of Newport are historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe House (2.5 miles south). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Nine Acres Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Around midsummer it stays light in Newport until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, 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.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
