Around East Cowes
We set up the roaster for events around Holy Cross Catholic Primary School, St James's Church and Prince of Wales pub and the streets around them. Nearby too are Isle of Wight Studio School (less than half a mile north-west) and Isle of Wight Studio School (under half a mile north-west). Other landmarks nearby include Sir Max Aitken Museum (1 mile north-west) and East Cowes Castle (0.9 miles north). Open spaces near East Cowes include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.
Planning a hog roast in PO32
From East Cowes and Whippingham to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO32 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
East Cowes: For a fundraiser at a school like Isle of Wight Studio School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Nearby historic houses include Osborne House (0.6 miles east) and Carisbrooke Castle (4.8 miles south). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Late September evenings in East Cowes lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
For event organisers in PO32
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Why a hog roast works
A roll needs no knife and fork, which makes a hog roast ideal for relaxed events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Here’s what people in PO32 most often book a hog roast for:
- Staff days and open days
- Parties at home
- Weddings and receptions

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
PO32: your questions answered
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What meats can we have?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
