Catered or do it yourself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Barton questions
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Barton in December: what to know
Barton is about 1 mile east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Barton, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Barton 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.
Christmas fairs at a church such as St Paul's Church can book a hog roast stall. The coast is within about 5 miles of Barton, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
Anywhere in PO30, PO31 and PO41, we can bring the roaster to you. We can cater a Christmas party on streets such as Pan Lane, Ash Road and Chain Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
Barton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

A hog roast or other catering?
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Barton
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Barton comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
