Party venues around Afton
Afton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Afton is well within our area for parties. Afton is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Afton to Southampton (18 miles away).
No room at home? A club or hall near Afton with outdoor space often works. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St. Agnes' Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in PO40, we can bring the roaster to you. From Bay Road, Afton Road and Manor Road or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you.

Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We serve crackling, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and milestone birthdays.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Afton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Afton hosts choose us
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Afton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Crackling

Afton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Afton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St. Agnes' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
When do you start roasting?
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
