About our party hog roast in Freshwater
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Freshwater suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. For summer parties in the garden and big family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
In a place like Freshwater, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it is light in Freshwater 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.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Send final numbers in good time

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Let us know roughly how many children
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Hosting a hog roast party in Freshwater
Freshwater is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Freshwater and its neighbours for parties. We bring hog roasts to all 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight. Our bookings stretch from Freshwater to Southampton (17 miles away).
No room at home? A club or hall near Freshwater with outdoor space frequently works. Historic houses near Freshwater include Mottistone Manor (4.6 miles south-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. The coast is within about a mile, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cater parties across the PO40 postcode area and the streets around it. That could mean a party in a garden on Dall Square, High Street and The Square, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Freshwater, we also cover Easton (1 mile south-east), Colwell (1 mile north-west), Norton Green (1 mile north), Afton (1 mile south-east) and Totland (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), Shanklin (15 miles east), Ventnor (15 miles south-east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east) and Barton (10 miles east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.
A little further out are Yarmouth Castle (1.9 miles north-east) and Ferguson Family Museum (0.7 miles north-east). The countryside around Freshwater includes Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes Nature Reserve and Afton Down.
- Nearby, you’ll find The Red Lion pub (0.5 miles east)
- Other local spots include Medina (0.8 miles west)

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

FAQs for Freshwater
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater in Freshwater?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Freshwater and the Isle of Wight. Send us the address for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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 compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
