DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Planning an evening hog roast in Bembridge? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve.

Preparing for the day

Bembridge: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Bembridge?
The closest is Brading station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Bembridge Methodist Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Do you cover the whole of the Isle of Wight?
We cover the Isle of Wight and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
