FAQs for Niton
Can you roast near the sea around Niton?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Niton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
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. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

- Put the menu on the invitation
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
