Niton is about 8 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Niton and its neighbours for wakes. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Niton to Southampton (about 23 miles away).
The coast is within about 4 miles of Niton.
For wakes in PO38, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your wake could be at a house on Puckwell Lane, School Lane and Church Street, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover wakes in Puckaster (1 mile south), Bierley (1 mile north), Blackgang (1 mile west), Whitwell (1 mile north-east) and Southford (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Newport (8 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (12 miles north), Sandown (7 miles north-east), Shanklin (6 miles north-east) and Ventnor (3 miles east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.

Funeral wake catering in Niton, slow-roasted on site
We keep things simple for families: a short conversation, a clear quote and a calm service on the day. We are frequently asked to cater church and village hall wakes and gatherings after scattering ashes, serving new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast pork in rolls or on plates.
For a wake near Niton, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices

Niton questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St. John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Niton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is a week’s notice enough?
Typically. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we will tell you quickly.
Do you cater in village halls?
Wherever the family gathers, if the roaster can cook outside.
What do we need to organise?
Only the place, numbers and a contact. We’ll handle the rest.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Space away from the building and any trees
Niton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
