Event catering across the Isle of Wight

Not every venue in the Isle of Wight has a kitchen, and with us it does not need one: we cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. Typical bookings include corporate days and work Christmas parties, with pulled pork, hog roast rolls with crackling and beef burgers.

A hog roast is cooked before serving and carved to order; a barbecue is cooked as people come up. Either way, we serve and tidy up.

  1. Share the date, the place and how many.
  2. Choose your menu with us.
  3. We arrive in good time and set up under cover.
  4. Hot food is served at the time you chose.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

Landmarks near Newport

Bookings here are often close to Castle Inn, The Man in the Moon and Seaclose Park and the streets around them. Nearby too are Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west), Island Innovation VI Form Campus (within half a mile south-east) and Nine Acres Primary School (under half a mile south). A little further out are Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Caterers across the Isle of Wight: what to know

In the Isle of Wight, our catering pages cover the bigger places, such as Newport, Ryde and Cowes, though we will travel to smaller villages too. Wherever it is, we need somewhere level outside to cook. 3 of the places we cover in the Isle of Wight are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered cooking spot.

Newport: Schools such as Nine Acres Primary School often need caterers for summer fairs and sports days. 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 set strict rules for outside caterers, so ask before you book. Sunset in Newport is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, which suits garden parties and weddings.

What we cook

Spit-roast lamb

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

Pulled pork

Slow-cooked pork, pulled apart, and served in a soft roll, frequently with coleslaw.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Add a dietary question to the invitation
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming
  • Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled

After service, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left to do.

Questions to ask before booking

  • The full menu and the sides
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • What crockery is supplied
  • Travel and any London charges

Organising for someone else?

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about caterers in the Isle of Wight

Do you offer halal meat?

We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

Do you clear up?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.

What events do you cater?

Everything from weddings and parties to staff days, fêtes, wakes and film sets.

Is crockery included?

Plates come as standard, with china available on request, quoted separately.

What about vegetarian guests?

Yes, with halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Tell us numbers so there is enough.

Can you feed a big crowd?

A hog roast is made for big groups. Tell us about the event and we will quote.

Do you need a kitchen at the venue?

No. We cook outdoors under cover: we just need a level, open spot outside.
