Your questions about a hog roast in Binstead
We are gathering after a service at Holy Cross Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Binstead?
The closest is Ryde Esplanade station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Is all of the Isle of Wight covered?
We cater across the Isle of Wight. Get in touch for a price.
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.
How our hog roast hire works in Binstead
In Binstead, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and milestone birthdays, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
In a smaller place like Binstead, a hog roast in the garden is often the simplest option: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. By late September, sunset in Binstead is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
