Godshill in December: what to know
Godshill is about 5 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Wherever your Christmas party is in Godshill, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Godshill is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Shanklin station is about 3.5 miles away. A winter fair at a school like Godshill Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold.
For Christmas parties in PO38, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Whether your Christmas party is on High Street, Jubilee Close and Yarborough Close or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Sandford (1 mile east), Rookley Green (1 mile north-west), Rookley (2 miles north-west), Whiteley Bank (2 miles east) and Merstone (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Newport (5 miles north), Ryde (7 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north), Sandown (4 miles east), Shanklin (4 miles east) and Ventnor (4 miles south-east). If your Christmas party is somewhere remote, let us know early and we will plan the trip.
Well-known places in the area include Whitecroft Hospital (3.2 miles north-west) and Museum of Country And Agriculture (2.6 miles north-east). The countryside around Godshill includes Alverstone Mead and Stenbury Down.

Christmas hog roast in Godshill, slow-roasted on site
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Godshill, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. For festive open evenings and year-end thank-yous, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In winter near Godshill, 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.

- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
