Christmas hog roast in Bembridge, slow-roasted on site
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Whether it is festive family get-togethers and lights switch-on evenings, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
In Bembridge, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Bembridge in December: what to know
Bembridge is about 4 miles south-east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Bembridge suit a hog roast. Bembridge is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School, suit a hog roast. For colleagues travelling by train, Brading station is about 2.4 miles away. The coast is within about 4 miles of Bembridge, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of PO35. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on High Street, Church Road and Station Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Foreland Fields (1 mile south-east), Hillway (1 mile south-west), St Helens (1 mile north-west), Gaskins (2 miles west) and Nettlestone (2 miles north-west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (9 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north-west), Cowes (11 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles south-west), Shanklin (6 miles south-west) and Ventnor (8 miles south-west). For a Christmas party at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Common questions in Bembridge
Can you roast near the sea around Bembridge?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Which station is closest to Bembridge?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you come to Bembridge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Bembridge and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
