About our party hog roast in Blackwater

Why choose party hog roast in Blackwater?
One roast feeds everyone together, instead of food in dribs and drabs.
People around Blackwater book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Naming ceremonies
- Retirement celebrations
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Engagement celebrations
After a christening at a church like St. Olave's Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.

How we price a hog roast for your party
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Blackwater 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 before booking.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A summer party in Blackwater stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Blackwater parties: what to know
Blackwater is about 2 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We are happy to travel to Blackwater for parties. Blackwater is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Blackwater to Southampton (about 17 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Blackwater are Gatcombe House (1.2 miles south-west) and Sheat Manor (1.4 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The coast is within about 6 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Here we cover the PO30 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. From Sandy Lane, Sandy Close and Blackwater Hollow or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Close by, we cover parties in Shide (1 mile north), Rookley (1 mile south), Merstone (2 miles south-east), Newport (2 miles north) and Rookley Green (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ryde (6 miles north-east), Cowes (6 miles north), Sandown (6 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles south-east), Ventnor (6 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
Well-known places in the area include Whitecroft Hospital (0.8 miles west) and Carisbrooke Castle (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Stenbury Down.
Common questions in Blackwater
We’re gathering after a service at St. Olave's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Blackwater?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come to Blackwater?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Blackwater and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Send us the address for a quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
