Hog roast hire for Adgestone
Questions from Adgestone
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Adgestone?
Sandown station, about 1.1 miles south of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Hog roast hire in Adgestone, slow-roasted on site
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. For club events and presentations and weddings, day or evening, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
In a rural place like Adgestone, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

What else we do in Adgestone
For event organisers in Adgestone
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Adgestone: venues, access and local tips
Adgestone is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. A hog roast suits events around Adgestone, whatever the venue. Adgestone is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we cater. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
For a fundraiser at a school like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Sandown station, roughly 1.1 miles south of the centre. Adgestone is within about 2 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
For events in PO36, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Upper Road, Lower Road and Lower Adgestone Road, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Other places close to Adgestone we cover include Morton (1 mile east), Yarbridge (1 mile east), Brading (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile south-west) and Sandown (1 mile south). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (6 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (9 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south), Ventnor (6 miles south) and East Cowes (8 miles north-west). Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early about your event.
Well-known places in the area include Sandown Castle (1.3 miles south-east) and Brading Waxworks (1 mile north-east). The countryside around Adgestone includes Alverstone Mead and Brading Down.
- Nearby schools include Sandown Bay Academy (1 mile south) and The Bay Church of England School (1.1 miles south)
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
For somewhere as remote as Adgestone, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late September evenings in Adgestone lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
