Hunny Hill is about 1 mile north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Hunny Hill is well within our area for care home events. Hunny Hill is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Hunny Hill to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
The A3020 and A3054 make Hunny Hill a simple journey for us. Some homes in Hunny Hill have links with a local church such as The Man in the Moon, and a hog roast can be part of a summer fête. The coast is within about 4 miles, and a day in the garden may bring back seaside memories.
Here we cover the PO30, PO31 and PO41 postcode area, so your care home event can be anywhere in it. Local streets include Foxes Road, Chain Lane and Wilver Road; a care home event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Hunny Hill sits on or near the A3020 and A3054, which makes travel to your care home event easy.

We also serve nearby towns such as Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (7 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (9 miles south-east) and East Cowes (3 miles north). Hunny Hill is among the bigger towns we cover in the Isle of Wight, with lots of choice for care home events. Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your care home event.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A level spot in the garden or car park
For somewhere as remote as Hunny Hill, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In summer, Hunny Hill has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
