Hog roast hire in PO33: what to expect
In PO33, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. We serve coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and parties at home.
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Prices in PO33
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Hog roast catering in PO33: local guide
There are 3 towns and 10 villages and hamlets in PO33, so whether your event is in Ryde, Oakfield and Elmfield or a quiet village, the approach is the same: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 17 places in PO33 are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Ryde: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like All Saints' Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. For guests coming by train, Ryde has its own station, Ryde St Johns Road station. Light matters for a long roast: in Ryde, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who does not eat it.
What your quote should include

How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
- Travel to PO33
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

FAQs for PO33
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
