How our party hog roast works in Cranmore
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. Whether it is anniversary parties and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes for your guests.
In a small place like Cranmore, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Hosting a hog roast party in Cranmore
Cranmore is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cover parties in Cranmore, along with the towns and villages around it. Cranmore is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Cranmore to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
Guests arriving by train should know that Lymington Pier station is about 4.9 miles away. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in PO41, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Whether your party is on Solent Road, East Close and Cranmore Avenue or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Hamstead (1 mile north-east), Shalfleet (1 mile south-east), Bouldnor (1 mile west), Yarmouth (2 miles west) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles east), Ryde (12 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (13 miles east), Shanklin (13 miles south-east) and Ventnor (13 miles south-east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early about your party.
Other landmarks nearby include Calbourne Water Mill And Rural Museum (2.6 miles south-east) and Yarmouth Castle (2.4 miles west). The countryside around Cranmore includes Boldre Foreshore and Compton Down.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Cranmore until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A word with the neighbours
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Cranmore is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
