A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of organising a trip, it’s easier for everyone to enjoy. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the home
- Away from emergency routes
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
Fishbourne is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fishbourne: care homes and access
Fishbourne is about 2 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Fishbourne. Fishbourne is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Fishbourne is on or near the B3331, so access for our equipment is simple. Briddlesford Nature Reserve is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. With the sea within about 3 miles, many residents will have memories of the seaside.
For care home events in PO33, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Local streets include Kite Hill, Ashlake Farm Lane and Ashlake Copse Road; a care home event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Main roads around Fishbourne include the B3331, which makes travel to your care home event easy.
