Among the historic houses close to Hillway are Yaverland Manor (1.6 miles west) and Morton Manor (2.3 miles west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hillway
Can you cater after a service at Bembridge Methodist Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Hillway?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Hillway is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
