The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Most wakes in Chale Green are held in the afternoon, which is daylight for most of the year, but by late December it’s dark at about 4:00pm.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a price.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- Food is ready when people arrive.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Rather than relatives cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Chale Green hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

FAQs for Chale Green
Do you come out to small places like Chale Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at St. James' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve rolls or plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A friend or relative we can call
- A short route for the equipment
- Space away from the building and any trees
For somewhere as remote as Chale Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
