Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
For event organisers in Barton
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Read how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A wet-weather plan for guests
Barton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening parties in Barton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Parties in Barton: homes, halls and local tips
Barton is about 1 mile east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cater parties across Barton and nearby, from gardens to fields. Barton is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Barton to Southampton (16 miles away).
Historic houses near Barton include Carisbrooke Castle (1.6 miles south-west) and Arreton Manor (2.4 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like St Paul's Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover parties in every part of PO30, PO31 and PO41 and the streets around it. That could mean a party in a garden on Pan Lane, Ash Road and Chain Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Barton we cover include Cross Lane (1 mile north), Staplers (1 mile east), Fairlee (1 mile north), Hillgrove (2 miles north-east) and Whippingham (3 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). Being one of the Isle of Wight’s larger places, Barton has lots of places with room for a hog roast. Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Well-known places in the area include Carisbrooke Castle (1.6 miles south-west) and Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum (under half a mile north-west). Green spaces nearby include Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
- Local schools include Island Innovation VI Form Campus (0.5 miles south-west) and Medina College (0.7 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include Bargeman's Rest pub (under half a mile west)

Barton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
