About our event catering in Newport
A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece; a barbecue gives more variety. For bigger events in Newport, many hosts have both, and we’ll suggest the right mix for your guests. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, beef brisket and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas parties and weddings and evening receptions.
Caterers in Newport get asked for all sorts, and we are no different: hog roast or BBQ, depending on the occasion. We just need somewhere level outside. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
We set up under cover where we agreed, well before food time. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat, so we plan our arrival around your serving time. Winter events in Newport are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Choosing caterers near Newport
Newport is about 10 miles south-west of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Events in Newport are part of our patch. Newport is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Within reach of Newport are historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe House (2.5 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check whether it uses approved caterers and allows cooking on site. Planning an event in Seaclose Park? Any cooking there needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. The sea is within about 5 miles of Newport, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered cooking spot and secure our cover.
Events anywhere in PO30 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. That could mean an event in a garden on High Street, Red Fox Square and Drill Hall Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Newport is on the A3020 and A3054, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring hog roasts to events in Cowes (4 miles north), Ryde (6 miles east), Gosport (10 miles north-east), Fareham (12 miles north-east) and Hythe (12 miles north). As one of the bigger places in the Isle of Wight, Newport has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces. For an event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Other landmarks nearby include 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.
- Local schools include Island Innovation VI Form Campus (less than half a mile south-east) and Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include Castle Inn (less than half a mile north-east)
Common questions in Newport
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you roast near the sea around Newport?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Does the venue need a kitchen?
Not at all. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Do you cover Newport?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Newport and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Hog roast or BBQ: which is better?
A hog roast is the showpiece; a barbecue gives more variety. For big events, both works well.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cater a big event in Newport?
Large events suit a hog roast especially well. Tell us about the event and we will quote.
Do you do small parties?
Share your numbers and we will advise, with no obligation.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll adjust where we can.
For a big event, have both menus.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Newport
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Is our catering right for your event?
Next to a row of food trucks, a single caterer means one menu, one queue and one point of contact. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Newport hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Flat ground outdoors for the cooking
- Access wide enough for our equipment
- A spot well clear of buildings
For somewhere as remote as Newport, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
