Questions from Chale Green
Is Chale Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you travel across the Isle of Wight?
All of the Isle of Wight is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Chale Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
