What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, events in Ashey stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
For visitors who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Running an event in Ashey
Ashey is about 2 miles south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events of every size in Ashey. Ashey is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Ashey to Southampton (18 miles away).
PTAs at schools such as Ryde Academy frequently want one reliable hot-food stall. The coast is within about 3 miles of Ashey, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
For events in PO33, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many visitors. We also bring hog roasts to events in Adgestone (2 miles south-east), Brading (2 miles south-east), Morton (2 miles south-east), Alverstone Garden Village (2 miles south) and Yarbridge (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (5 miles west), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (3 miles south), Shanklin (5 miles south), Ventnor (7 miles south) and East Cowes (6 miles north-west).

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Name an organiser to meet us, especially for big events.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
