DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a staff lunch in Brookgreen, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Brookgreen is about 7 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cater staff events of every size in Brookgreen. We bring hog roasts to all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Brookgreen to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
The coast is within about 5 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
We bring hog roasts to staff events all over the PO30 postcode area and the streets around it. Nearby, we also cater staff events in Brook (1 mile north-west), Hulverstone (1 mile north-east), Dunsbury (1 mile north-west), Chilton Green (1 mile east) and Shalcombe (2 miles north). Further out, we also cater in Newport (7 miles north-east), Ryde (13 miles north-east), Cowes (10 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your staff event.
Other landmarks nearby include Brighstone Village Museum (2.2 miles east) and Yarmouth Castle (4.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Westover Down.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Brookgreen: your questions answered
Is Brookgreen too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Can you cater in Brookgreen?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- A named contact for the day
For somewhere as remote as Brookgreen, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. 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.
Why Brookgreen hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What affects the price in Brookgreen
We work out each quote from:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
