Hog roast hire across PO35
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include wakes and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Pricing in PO35
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Hog roast hire across PO35
PO35 covers everything from Bembridge, Foreland Fields and Hillway to 2 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. 3 of the places we cover in PO35 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Bembridge: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Bembridge Church of England Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to Bembridge are Yaverland Manor (2.4 miles south-west) and Morton Manor (2.9 miles west). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before you book. Evenings in Bembridge stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
FAQs for PO35
What’s included?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you cover PO35?
Yes, PO35 is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need a big space?
