A hog roast across PO36: what to know
From Sandown, Shanklin and Lake to 16 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO36 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Around 19 places in PO36 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Sandown: Among the historic houses close to Sandown are Morton Manor (1.5 miles north-east) and Yaverland Manor (1.7 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. If guests are travelling by rail, Sandown station is in Sandown itself. Light matters for a long roast: around Sandown, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
