How our party hog roast works in Chale
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater christenings and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Near Chale, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Parking close to the house
- A heads-up for next door
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
For somewhere as remote as Chale, 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 before you book.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What affects the price in Chale
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Chale parties: what to know
Chale is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cover Chale and its neighbours for parties. Chale is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight where we cater. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 22 miles away.
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as St Andrew's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cover parties in every part of PO38 and the streets around it. Local streets include Church Place, Upper House Lane and Blythe Shute; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater parties 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). Larger places within reach include 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.
Well-known places in the area include Whitecroft Hospital (5.2 miles north) and Blackgang Sawmill Museum (0.6 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Stenbury Down.
