How hog roast hire works in the Isle of Wight

Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include village fêtes and school fairs and parties at home, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting.

Hog roast hire across the Isle of Wight

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to 102 villages and hamlets, bookings across the Isle of Wight range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. Around 116 places in the Isle of Wight are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Newport: Historic houses near Newport include Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and Gatcombe House (2.5 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. For a fundraiser at a school like Nine Acres Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Evenings in Newport stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
Access for our equipment, without steps
A safe distance from walls, tents and trees

What comes off the roaster

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.

Working with your venue

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Planning for dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Put the menu on the invitation

Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.

The Isle of Wight questions

What do you need from us on the day?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.

What happens in bad weather?

Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?

It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What comes with the hog roast?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Do you cook it or do we?

We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
