Christmas hog roast for Fishbourne
About our Christmas hog roast in Fishbourne
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. For christmas markets and staff Christmas do’s, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In winter near Fishbourne, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning a Christmas party in Fishbourne
Fishbourne is about 2 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Fishbourne and the surrounding area are covered for Christmas parties. Fishbourne is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Fishbourne is on or near the B3331, so we can reach it easily in winter. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Ryde Esplanade station, about 2.5 miles east, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 3 miles of Fishbourne, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
We cater Christmas parties across the PO33 postcode area. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Kite Hill, Ashlake Farm Lane and Ashlake Copse Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Being close to the B3331, Fishbourne is simple for us to get to with the roaster. For Christmas parties just outside Fishbourne, we cover Wootton (1 mile west), Havenstreet (1 mile south), Hillgrove (2 miles south-west), Whippingham (2 miles west) and Staplers (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (4 miles south-west), Cowes (4 miles north-west), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (3 miles north-west). For a Christmas party at a remote spot, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
A little further out are St Mary's Hospital (3.9 miles west) and East Cowes Castle (3.8 miles north-west). Within reach you will find Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Ryde Academy (1.9 miles east)
- Nearby, you will find The Fishbourne pub (less than half a mile north-east)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What affects the price in Fishbourne
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Fishbourne questions
Is Fishbourne too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
