Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

The coast is within about 3 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

Further out, we also cater in Newport (4 miles south-west), Cowes (4 miles north-west), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south), Ventnor (9 miles south) and East Cowes (3 miles north-west). If your party is somewhere remote, let us know early and we will plan the trip.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For an evening party in Fishbourne, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Parking close to the house
- Neighbours warned about the smell
For somewhere as remote as Fishbourne, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
