About hog roast for events in the Isle of Wight

How the food is paid for depends on the event: a catered package paid by the organiser, or a stall selling to visitors. Tell us how you’d like it to work. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for country shows and charity fundraisers.

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
We check access to the pitch and send a price.
We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

What you will pay

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Other landmarks nearby include Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Within reach you will find Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Event catering across the Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight has events everywhere, from Newport, Ryde and Cowes to village fêtes in 102 small places. Hog roasts suit town fairs and village fêtes alike. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Newport: PTAs at schools such as Nine Acres Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall. If your event is in Seaclose Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. For an autumn event in Newport, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.

What a hog roast costs

Each price is built from:

Menu choices and extras
Site access
Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
How many people are eating

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Dietary requirements
Your date and serving time
An estimate of numbers

Space, access and the venue

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:

Space for people to queue
Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
A firm way on and off the field

Looking after everyone

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
Signpost the stall clearly
Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request

At the end, we pack down and take our waste.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Planners, venues and businesses

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Common questions in the Isle of Wight

Can visitors buy their own food?

Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.

Can you work around our timings?

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

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 bring everything else.

Can you do a school fair?

Yes, if the school agrees. Send us the details.

Is mains power needed?

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

Do we need our own staff?

You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Can you come to our fête?

Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
