Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.

Staff days in Porchfield: access and travel
Porchfield is about 3 miles north-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Hosts in Porchfield book us for staff events of all sizes. Porchfield is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 14 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. That could mean a staff event in a garden on Main Road, Elmsworth Lane and New Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover staff events in Locksgreen (1 mile south-west), Great Thorness (1 mile north-east), Newtown (1 mile south-west), Forest Side (2 miles south-east) and Rew Street (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Newport (3 miles south-east), Ryde (9 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.

- Pubs nearby include Sportsman's Rest pub (within half a mile south-west)
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Common questions in Porchfield
Can you roast near the sea around Porchfield?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Porchfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you feed staff and families?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we will reply.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Porchfield have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
