FAQs for Chillerton
Is Chillerton 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.
We are gathering after a service at St. Olave's Church: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How our wedding hog roast works in Chillerton
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Chillerton: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. We are frequently asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Chillerton have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or PO30 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Chillerton is about 3 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We cater weddings across Chillerton and nearby, from gardens to fields. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
Within reach of Chillerton are historic houses such as Sheat Manor (0.6 miles north-east) and Gatcombe House (0.9 miles north-east). Grand venues like these generally set rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking. If you want countryside in your photos, Brighstone Down isn’t far, and the countryside around Chillerton suits an outdoor reception.
We bring hog roasts to weddings all over PO30. Local streets include Hollow Lane, Greenland Close and Brook Lane; a wedding on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to weddings in Gatcombe (1 mile north), Shorwell (2 miles west), Bowcombe (2 miles north-west), Plaish (2 miles north) and Chale Green (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Newport (3 miles north), Ryde (8 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (6 miles east) and Ventnor (6 miles south-east).

For event organisers in Chillerton
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Chillerton?

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give final numbers in good time
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. At midsummer, sunset in Chillerton is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
