Planning a hog roast day in Newport
Newport is about 10 miles south-west of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Care home events in Newport are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Newport is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Some homes in Newport have links with a local church such as The Man in the Moon, and a hog roast can be part of a summer fête. Briddlesford Nature Reserve is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. The coast is within about 5 miles, and a day in the garden may bring back seaside memories.
We cover care home events in every part of PO30 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include High Street, Red Fox Square and Drill Hall Road, and a care home event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the A3020 and A3054, Newport is simple for us to get to for your care home event.

Newport: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast near the sea around Newport?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late May in Newport has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- Your activities lead or manager gets in touch with a date.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
