Hog roast catering in PO39: local guide
From Totland and Colwell to 1 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO39 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Totland: Churches such as Christ Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like St Saviour's Catholic Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Around midsummer it stays light in Totland until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.
Questions to ask before booking
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Staffing on the day
- Plates, china and cutlery
- If the price includes VAT
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Your questions about a hog roast in PO39
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you travel across the Isle of Wight?
We cater across the Isle of Wight. Ask for a quote.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
