East Cowes: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in East Cowes?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you roast near the sea around East Cowes?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Contact us and we’ll see what’s possible.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Do you cover East Cowes?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including East Cowes and the Isle of Wight. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is it pay as you go?
That depends on the event. Let us know how you’d like it to work and we will talk it through.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For an autumn event in East Cowes, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast feels more special. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
