Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Goddards Green hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
