Colwell: venues, access and local tips
Colwell is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cater events of every size in Colwell. Colwell is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Colwell to Southampton (17 miles away).
After a service at Christ Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. The coast is within about a mile of Colwell, and sea breezes can be strong. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
We bring hog roasts to events all over PO40 and PO39. From Colwell Chine Road, Heath Lane and Chine Close or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. Nearby, we also cater events in Totland (1 mile south-west), Freshwater (1 mile south-east), Norton Green (1 mile north-east), Easton (1 mile south-east) and Afton (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east), Barton (11 miles east), Hunny Hill (10 miles east) and Cross Lane (11 miles east). For an event at a remote spot, let us know early and we’ll plan the trip.
Other landmarks nearby include Yarmouth Castle (2 miles north-east) and Medina (less than half a mile south-west). Within reach you’ll find Tennyson Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Pubs nearby include Colwell Bay Inn (under half a mile east)
Hog roast hire in Colwell, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. Whether it is birthdays and anniversaries and corporate events, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and coleslaw for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Colwell, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Do you cook it or do we?

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What affects the price in Colwell
The price comes down to:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Travel to Colwell
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evenings in Colwell stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
