Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Arranging a wake in Yarmouth
Yarmouth is about 4 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Our roaster is a regular sight at wakes around Yarmouth, from gardens to fields. We cater 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Yarmouth to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
A club or hall near Yarmouth gives space for everyone and outdoor room for the roaster. For anyone coming to the funeral by train, Lymington Pier station is about 3.9 miles away. Yarmouth is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal halls can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered cooking spot.

- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Parking close by for our vehicle
- Approval from the landlord or committee
Yarmouth is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the alternatives labelled
- Find out who would prefer chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in good time and roast quietly, out of the way of arriving guests.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the wake in Yarmouth
Nobody in the family has to cook or serve.
Whatever the occasion in Yarmouth, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re often asked to cater:
- Memorial events
- Family meals after a funeral
- Home wakes
- Wakes at a local club
After a service at St. James' Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.

Common questions in Yarmouth
Can you roast near the sea around Yarmouth?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at St. James' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you do something else?
We can add alternatives for those who need them.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
