What affects the price in Northwood
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

For event organisers in Northwood
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Northwood parties: what to know
Northwood is about 1 mile south of Cowes, in the Isle of Wight. Northwood is well within our area for parties and the places nearby. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 13 miles away.
Within reach of Northwood are historic houses such as Osborne House (2 miles east) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.9 miles south). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. Near the coast, within about 2 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
For parties in PO31, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Nodes Road, Wyatts Lane and Uplands Road; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Rew Street (1 mile west), Gurnard (1 mile north), Cowes (1 mile north), Noke Common (2 miles south) and Parkhurst (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Newport (3 miles south), Ryde (7 miles east), Sandown (9 miles south-east), Shanklin (10 miles south-east), Ventnor (11 miles south-east) and Oakfield (7 miles east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early about your party.
Well-known places in the area include Isle of Wight Natural History Centre (0.5 miles north) and West Cowes Castle (1.7 miles north). Open spaces near Northwood include Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
- Schools near Northwood include Cowes Enterprise College (1.4 miles north)
- Pubs nearby include The Travellers Joy pub (within half a mile south-west)
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For an evening party in Northwood, 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.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
