Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
BBQ catering for your event in Chale
In Chale, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We’re frequently asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and engagement and anniversary parties, serving beef burgers, pulled pork and beef brisket.
In a small place like Chale, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

Planning a barbecue in Chale
Chale is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Thinking about a catered barbecue in Chale? We cover the whole area. Chale is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our bookings stretch from Chale to Southampton (22 miles away).
Churches such as St Andrew's Church rarely have room for a barbecue, but a hall or home nearby normally does. With the coast within about 6 miles of Chale, wind is the thing to plan for: a sheltered spot keeps the grill steady and the smoke away from the queue.
This part of the Isle of Wight takes in PO38, and we can cater your event anywhere in it. Your event could be at a house on Church Place, Upper House Lane and Blythe Shute, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the barbecue. Other places close to Chale we cover include Blackgang (1 mile south-east), Pyle (1 mile north-west), Chale Green (1 mile north), Atherfield Green (1 mile north-west) and Niton (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (7 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles east). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Nearby you will also find Whitecroft Hospital (5.2 miles north) and Blackgang Sawmill Museum (0.6 miles south). The countryside around Chale includes Stenbury Down.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
For somewhere as remote as Chale, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Serving and clearing done for you

- Planned to your running order

Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. For an evening barbecue in Chale, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Show us the space.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
