Evenings in Bouldnor 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.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.

FAQs for Bouldnor
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Swithin (old): can you cater?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you travel across the Isle of Wight?
All of the Isle of Wight is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
