Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Barton
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Hog roast for events near Barton
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Tell us how you’d like it to work. For car shows and rallies and agricultural and country shows, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
Events near Barton are frequently volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, events in Barton stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access

Common questions in Barton
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast near the sea around Barton?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Share your list and we’ll respond.
Do you do charity events?
Contact us.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
We serve as the queue moves.
Add coleslaw.
Where the roaster can go in Barton
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Barton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

Barton events: pitches and permissions
Barton is about 1 mile east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Barton and the surrounding area. Barton is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Barton to Southampton (16 miles away).
Church fêtes, at churches such as St Paul's Church, are a natural home for a hog roast. An event in Seaclose Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, typically the council. The coast is within about 5 miles of Barton, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.
Events anywhere in PO30, PO31 and PO41 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Streets in the area include Pan Lane, Ash Road and Chain Lane, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to events in Cross Lane (1 mile north), Staplers (1 mile east), Fairlee (1 mile north), Hillgrove (2 miles north-east) and Whippingham (3 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). Barton is among the bigger towns we cover in the Isle of Wight, with lots of choice for events. Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Well-known places in the area include Carisbrooke Castle (1.6 miles south-west) and Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum (less than half a mile north-west). Within reach you will find Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Island Innovation VI Form Campus (0.5 miles south-west) and Medina College (0.7 miles north)
