FAQs for Bembridge
Can you roast near the sea around Bembridge?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Which station is closest to Bembridge?
Brading station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do a school fair?
We do. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What will our event need from you?
Requirements vary. Let us know what you need.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Bembridge is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
