How our party hog roast works in Yaverland

Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We are often asked to cater big birthday parties and retirement parties, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.

In a small place like Yaverland, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

What we serve, dish by dish

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.

Stuffing and apple sauce

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Looking after everyone

Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

Think about children’s portions
Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives

Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Is a hog roast right for your party?

Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Common questions in Yaverland

What’s the nearest station to Yaverland?

The closest is Brading station, roughly 1 mile away.

We are gathering after a service at St John the Baptist Church: can you cater?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Is clearing up included?

Yes, we clear up after service.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

What do people get?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

When should we book?

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

Can you work around our timings?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

How it works

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At midsummer, it’s light in Yaverland until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
We check the space and send a price.
We set up hours ahead.
At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
We clear the serving area and go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Parties in Yaverland: homes, halls and local tips

Yaverland is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Yaverland and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Yaverland to Southampton (about 21 miles away).

Among the historic houses close to Yaverland are Yaverland Manor (0.5 miles north) and Morton Manor (0.9 miles north-west). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. After a christening at a church like St John the Baptist Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. The coast is within about a mile, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.

We cater parties across PO36 and the streets around it. We can cater a party on streets such as Meadow Way, Yaverland Close and Yaverland Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Nearby, we also cater parties in Yarbridge (1 mile north-west), Morton (1 mile north-west), Brading (1 mile north), Sandown (1 mile south-west) and Adgestone (1 mile north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (8 miles west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (10 miles north-west), Shanklin (3 miles south-west), Ventnor (6 miles south-west) and East Cowes (9 miles north-west). If your party is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.

Well-known places in the area include Sandown Castle (0.7 miles south-west) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (2.8 miles south-west). Open spaces near Yaverland include Bembridge Down and Brading Marshes RSPB reserve.
