About our Christmas hog roast in Newchurch
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Newchurch, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
In a small place like Newchurch, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning a Christmas party in Newchurch
Newchurch is about 4 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cater Christmas parties across Newchurch and nearby, from gardens to fields. We cater 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Newchurch to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
A Christmas fair at All Saints' Church is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. A winter fair at a school like Newchurch Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. With the sea within about 3 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
We cater Christmas parties across the PO36 postcode area and the streets around it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on High Street, Milestone Crescent and Palmer's Lane or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Winford (1 mile south), Branstone (1 mile south), Hale Common (1 mile south-west), Apse Heath (1 mile south) and Arreton (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (5 miles north-west), Ryde (4 miles north-east), Cowes (8 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-east), Ventnor (5 miles south) and East Cowes (7 miles north-west). For a Christmas party at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Nearby you’ll also find Museum of Country And Agriculture (0.9 miles west) and Sandown Castle (2.7 miles east). The countryside around Newchurch includes Alverstone Mead and Brading Down.
- Local schools include Sandown Bay Academy (1.9 miles east)
- Local pubs include The Pointer Inn (within half a mile north-east)
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Newchurch
Which station is closest to Newchurch?
The closest is Sandown station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Newchurch too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Do you cover Newchurch?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-December sunset in Newchurch comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare

- Name a contact for the day

What affects the price in Newchurch

- Travel to Newchurch
- Time on site
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
