About our hog roast hire in Easton
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. Typical bookings include club events and presentations and wakes and memorial gatherings, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Easton, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Easton: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Agnes' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you cover Easton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Permission from the venue or landowner
For somewhere as remote as Easton, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Easton: venues, access and local tips
Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Easton, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Easton is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Easton to Southampton (18 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like All Saints Church of England Primary School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Churches such as St. Agnes' Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. Easton is within about a mile of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
Events anywhere in PO40 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. That could mean an event in a garden on Bay Road, Camp Road and Gate Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Nearby, we also cater events in Afton (1 mile east), Afton Park (1 mile east), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Totland (1 mile west) and Colwell (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), Shanklin (15 miles east), Ventnor (14 miles east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east) and Barton (10 miles east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Other landmarks nearby include Yarmouth Castle (2.3 miles north) and Dimbola Museum And Galleries (under half a mile south). The countryside around Easton includes Afton Down and Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Red Lion pub (0.7 miles north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Medina (1.2 miles north-west)
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your event in Easton. In Easton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
