The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Around midsummer it stays light in Pyle until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Questions from Pyle
Is Pyle too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you cover the whole of the Isle of Wight?
The Isle of Wight is part of our area, including Pyle. Get in touch for a price.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning a hog roast in Pyle
Pyle is about 6 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Events in Pyle are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. Pyle is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 22 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Wolverton Manor (2.7 miles north-west) and Westcourt Manor (2.9 miles north-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. The coast is within about 6 miles of Pyle, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
Wherever your event is in PO38, we can bring the roaster to you. Your event could be at a house on Pyle Shute, Westside Lane and Atherfield Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Pyle we cover include Chale Green (1 mile north-east), Atherfield Green (1 mile north-west), Little Atherfield (1 mile north-west), Shorwell (3 miles north-west) and Thorncross (3 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (10 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (7 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles east). For an event at a remote spot, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Nearby you will also find Blackgang Sawmill Museum (1.4 miles south-east) and Whitecroft Hospital (4.5 miles north). Open spaces near Pyle include Stenbury Down.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
Where the roaster can go in Pyle
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
For somewhere as remote as Pyle, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
