For a shoot in a place like Cranmore, tracks and soft ground need checking. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Location catering around Cranmore
Cranmore is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Our roaster is a regular sight at shoots around Cranmore, from gardens to fields. Cranmore is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Cranmore to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Swainston Manor (3.4 miles south-east) and Mottistone Manor (4.2 miles south). If you are shooting at a historic house, the roaster will need a base agreed with the property. With the sea within about 5 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
We bring hog roasts to shoots all over PO41. Whether your shoot is on Solent Road, East Close and Cranmore Avenue or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to shoots in Hamstead (1 mile north-east), Shalfleet (1 mile south-east), Bouldnor (1 mile west), Yarmouth (2 miles west) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles south-east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so ask early about your shoot.
Other landmarks nearby include Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (2.6 miles south-east) and Yarmouth Castle (2.4 miles west). The countryside around Cranmore includes Boldre Foreshore and Compton Down.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. On a winter shoot near Cranmore, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us the base location.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
