About our Christmas hog roast in Nettlestone
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For society Christmas socials and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we can cook roast turkey, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Near Nettlestone, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Nettlestone in December: what to know
Nettlestone is about 2 miles east of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Nettlestone and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We bring hog roasts to 125 places across the Isle of Wight. Our bookings stretch from Nettlestone to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as St. Helen's Church can book a hog roast stall. If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Nettlestone Primary School, hot rolls go down well. The coast is within about 3 miles of Nettlestone, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
For Christmas parties in PO34, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Caws Avenue, Willowtree Drive and Ashtree Way, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nettlestone is on the B3340, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Nettlestone, we also cover Seaview (1 mile north), Pondwell (1 mile north-west), Spring Vale (1 mile north-west), Puckpool (1 mile north-west) and Westridge (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Newport (8 miles west), Cowes (9 miles west), Sandown (5 miles south-west), Shanklin (6 miles south-west), Ventnor (9 miles south-west) and East Cowes (8 miles west). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Other landmarks nearby include Sandown Castle (4.1 miles south) and Cothey Bottom Heritage Centre (1.2 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Alan Hersey Nature Reserve and Bembridge Down.
- Pubs nearby include The Vine Inn (1 mile south)
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. A lunchtime Christmas party in Nettlestone is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
