The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How our care home hog roast works in Pyle
We roast outdoors under cover in the garden or car park, on a spot that keeps emergency access clear. On the menu are roast potatoes, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for family days with visitors and open days.
Country homes near Pyle frequently have big gardens with views, perfect for residents to sit out while the hog roasts. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning a hog roast day in Pyle
Pyle is about 6 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We are happy to travel to Pyle for care home events. Pyle is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 22 miles away.
For homes that welcome visitors from a church like St Andrew's Church, a hog roast lunch is an easy way to say thank you. With the sea within about 6 miles, many residents will have memories of the seaside.
Here we cover the PO38 postcode area. Whether your care home event is on Pyle Shute, Westside Lane and Atherfield Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Pyle, we also cover Chale Green (1 mile north-east), Atherfield Green (1 mile north-west), Little Atherfield (1 mile north-west), Shorwell (3 miles north-west) and Thorncross (3 miles north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (6 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (10 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (7 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles east). For a care home event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Other landmarks nearby include Blackgang Sawmill Museum (1.4 miles south-east) and Whitecroft Hospital (4.5 miles north). Within reach you will find Stenbury Down.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
What else we do in Pyle
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Pyle
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Pyle?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What time do you serve?
Tell us the time that suits residents, and we will be ready.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We will share allergen and menu details.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
