Party hog roast in Lake, carved to order
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. For garden parties and christenings, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and jacket potatoes.
In a place like Lake, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Parties in Lake: homes, halls and local tips
Lake is about 1 mile south-west of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. We cater parties at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Lake. Lake is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 21 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Rylstone Manor (1.7 miles south) and Morton Manor (1.9 miles north-east). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. Guests arriving by train should know that there is a station right in Lake: Lake station. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in PO36 and PO37, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Lea Road, New Road and Percy Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. Lake is on the A3055, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Lake, we also cover Sandown (1 mile north-east), Alverstone (1 mile north-west), Queen's Bower (1 mile north-west), Shanklin (1 mile south) and Alverstone Garden Village (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cater in Newport (7 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Ventnor (4 miles south-west), East Cowes (9 miles north-west) and Oakfield (5 miles north). If your party is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Well-known places in the area include National Poo Museum (under half a mile east) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (1.2 miles south-west). Open spaces near Lake include Brading Down and Alverstone Mead.
- Local schools include Sandown Bay Academy (0.6 miles north) and The Bay Church of England School (0.7 miles north-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Old Comical pub (0.6 miles north-east)

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing

Where the roaster can go in Lake
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- A spot well away from the house
- Parking close to the house
For somewhere as remote as Lake, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Lake is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Lake questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of The Good Shepherd?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
